Social work is both demanding and fulfilling, calling for a deep dedication to the principles and ethics of the profession. Individuals exploring social work as a career path should understand its moral foundations and emphasis on advancing social equity.
This Master in Social Work/Postgraduate Diploma in Social Work program meets the standards set by CORU, Ireland's regulatory authority for health and social care professionals, in compliance with national legislation.
The Master's program equips students to qualify as registered social workers with CORU. Like all healthcare professionals, social work students must uphold their responsibility to public welfare. As part of enrollment in the School of Social Work and Social Policy, new students must pass mandatory health screenings and immunization checks to verify protection against specific communicable diseases. These measures help minimize infection risks between students, service users, and patients.
Applicants should hold a level 8 primary social science degree (2.1 degree or higher), or equivalent, and a minimum of 850 hours relevant practice experience. There are up to 25 places on the course each year.
