Overview
The course incorporates the recognised qualification leading to registration as a qualified social worker. Teaching and learning on the course is varied and interactive, including seminars, workshops, lectures and group work. The knowledge, skills and values needed to be an effective and reflective social worker are learned, practised and discussed both on campus and in practice.
We ensure that teaching is relevant and up-to-date by including input from people who use social work services, and practicing social workers and managers. There are a range of assessment methods, including essays, exams, presentations, portfolios of work and a research dissertation.
The course is divided equally between class-based learning and practice placements, with students undertaking a total of 200 days in practice. In the first year students undertake 30 days in practice, 100 days in the second year and 70 in the final year.
