Program description
Our Social Work BA can help you become a social worker. Social Work England lets graduates register as social workers in England. Our social work degree is top-notch. We're approved by Social Work England (SWE) and teach to the BASW Professional Capabilities Framework (PCF).
There are two work placements included in your practice-based learning. As a member of the PCF, you'll collaborate with your practice instructor to hone your skills. Our lecturing staff promotes the most recent social work research while basing their instruction on evidence-based practice. Three years of full-time study are possible. Alternately, select part-time or hybrid study.
We are connected to local private nonprofit and independent sector organizations as well as employers in the local government. You'll probably find employment before you qualify, then.
Our teaching includes a blend of:
- Lectures
- Seminars
- Group work
- Role Play / Simulated Interviews
- Guest Speakers
- Service User Input
- Online Learning
We encourage active student participation. You will have opportunities to contribute your own knowledge.
