Practitioners who thrive in this programme are those committed to social justice, possessing the empathy to support individuals across diverse backgrounds—from children and families to vulnerable adults navigating complex mental health or disability challenges. This apprenticeship is designed for dedicated professionals who learn best by bridging the gap between rigorous academic inquiry and the immediate, lived realities of social work practice.

Integrated Professional Development

By combining university-based learning with structured placements in both Adult Social Services and Children’s Services, apprentices gain a holistic view of the sector. You will develop critical capabilities in legal analysis, social policy, and ethical decision-making, all while operating as a paid employee. The programme is uniquely shaped by our collaborative partnerships, ensuring that your teaching is informed by both academic expertise and the voices of those with lived experience. Upon completion, you will not only hold an MA but will be fully prepared to register as a qualified Social Worker with Social Work England, ready to step into practice specialist or management roles.
