Social workers support people in difficult circumstances to improve their wellbeing and challenge social injustice. Social workers work within legal systems to safeguard and provide protection to people who may be vulnerable. Social workers work with communities and with other services including:

health
education
housing
the police
Studying social work will enable you to think critically about the work that social workers do. You will develop skills in assessment and communication, while understanding the importance of social justice and a strong sense of professional ethics.

Our programme provides an internationally recognised professional qualification to enable you to register as a professional social worker.

We are a diverse and international community of staff and students. We work with local and international partners on all of our teaching programmes, to ensure that our teaching reflects our commitment to social work values, ethics and social justice.
