Master in MA Social Work 2026/27

Social work investigates how individuals, families and communities interact with social systems, addressing questions of inequality, protection and wellbeing. This MA builds on that foundation, offering a blend of theory, policy and hands-on practice that prepares you for professional registration.

Graduates move into roles such as social worker, case manager or senior practitioner within local authorities, health trusts, charities and the courts, and many continue towards senior management or academic positions. The qualification is accredited by Social Work England, allowing direct entry onto the professional register.

The programme combines classroom learning with two mandatory placements – a 70-day placement in the first year and a 100-day placement in the second – supported by qualified practice educators. Academic advisers guide your development throughout, ensuring you integrate academic insight with real-world experience.
