You will consolidate this theoretical knowledge with two placements to put your learning into practice.

As a social worker with your master in Social Work (MA), you will have opportunities to make a real difference to some of the most marginalized and vulnerable people in society. You could take your career in a number of directions such as working in child protection, with young people in care, older people, people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health difficulties, homeless people, people with drug dependencies, or with any other group of people with specialist needs.
