Program details

Overview

This programme is designed for graduates who hold an undergraduate degree in another subject and want to change career. It provides a gateway into qualifying as a social worker. The course is a practical step for people who want a career in social work. Teaching is delivered by qualified and registered professionals, working closely with people who have lived experience of social work. Students can choose between a postgraduate diploma and an MA, giving flexibility in how they qualify. Students are encouraged to draw on their existing degrees when reflecting on social work practice. Practice focuses on working with people facing marginalisation, helping them overcome barriers so they can lead fulfilled lives. The MA route requires completion of a final dissertation module, and Solent's social work training has run for over 30 years.
