This honours degree prepares students for professional social work. It develops the knowledge, values and skills needed to support people facing complex social challenges, grounded in research evidence and ethical reasoning. Students learn to reflect critically on their own practice, a skill that remains central throughout a social work career.
Learning combines academic study with a series of practice placements in real settings, allowing students to apply theory to the situations they will meet at work. Placements and classroom study are designed to work together. Teaching encourages independent judgement, so graduates make decisions based on evidence rather than routine alone.
Graduates can apply for registration with Social Work England, the regulator needed to begin professional practice in England. Students finish the course ready to apply that reflective practice in employment.
