MSc Advanced Social Work with Children and Families This is a part-time modular programme providing continuing professional education for registered social workers who are currently working with children and young people, their families and carers in the UK. It leads to one of three awards; you can enter at MSc, Postgraduate Certificate or Postgraduate Diploma level. Alternatively, you are welcome simply to take any of our units on a credit-only basis.
The programme is normally accessed by qualified social workers as part of their employment with local authorities or voluntary/independent sector organisations in the south west of England. However, we also welcome applications from appropriately qualified and experienced practitioners/managers working elsewhere in the UK. It is managed in partnership with local employers.
This programme is aligned with the British Association of Social Workers’ Professional Capabilities Framework and the Department for Education’s knowledge and skills statement for child and family social workers.
Entry requirements: Professional social work qualification (or equivalent) and current
bristol.ac.uk/pg-study
registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (or equivalent). An honours degree (or equivalent qualification demonstrated through experience in the field), and a demonstrable ability to study at postgraduate level.
As part of the application, you will be asked to submit a personal statement of 550-700 words (300-500 words for those undertaking individual ‘credit only’ units).
As this is a practice-focused programme, students are required to be in professional social work practice in the UK in some capacity throughout their time on the programme.
MSc Social Work This two-year professional programme is designed for people who want to qualify and practise as a professional social worker.
Social work is a demanding but highly rewarding profession, which is often in the public spotlight. As a qualified social worker you will be able to work with both children and adults, helping them to be safe so that they can cope and take control of their lives again. You will work with them to assess their needs, find out what will help them, support them in building their self-confidence and link them to other services.
This requires an ability to appraise complex and difficult situations, drawing on social science research, social work theories and methods of intervention. You will need a thorough understanding of social policies and a firm grasp of the legal powers and duties that underpin your practice.
The MSc in Social Work combines university- based learning with two extended periods of supervised practice as a student social worker in a social work agency. By completing this degree, you will be eligible to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (or the newly proposed social work regulatory body) and practise as a qualified professional social worker in a range of settings, including statutory, voluntary, private and independent sectors.
You will develop an understanding of the structural and personal factors that lead to disadvantage, oppression and discrimination, and learn how to apply this understanding to your practice. You will develop values and skills as a reflective practitioner, appraising relevant evidence – including research – to evaluate your own and other people’s work and to contribute to the development of policy and practice.
