Master of Social Work (MSW)

Why choose this course?

The Masters of Social Work is a postgraduate intensive qualification that will enable you to train to become a social worker in two years.

 

The MSW is accredited by Social Work England (SWE), the professional UK regulator. Once you graduate, you must apply to register with Social Work England to work as a qualified social worker.

 

You will be taught by social work academics, researchers, expert practitioners and people with lived experience, spanning the range of specialist social work fields. This prepares students to become social workers in their chosen areas of specialist social work practice, equipped with a broad range of theory and evidence.

 

The course provides transformative learning experiences in a supportive, inclusive environment. It is underpinned by a psycho-social and life-course approach, encouraging critical thinking and anti-discriminatory practice in response to the needs of people and communities.

 

We have a state-of-the-art innovative skills lab to help you to learn and develop practice skills, preparing you for field learning in your two practice placements.
