A career in social work offers both challenges and fulfillment. You'll collaborate with society's most at-risk populations, driving meaningful transformation for individuals, families, and communities. The field provides diverse opportunities for specialization, such as working with children, adolescents, adults with disabilities, or those requiring mental health support. Social workers engage directly with people across various settings - hospitals, private residences, educational institutions, and community spaces. This profession demands patience, impartiality, and strong communication skills to interact effectively with diverse groups.

LSBU's MA in Social Work boasts a 30-year legacy as a respected program. Graduates qualify for registration with Social Work England and pursue careers in multiple environments, from government agencies to entrepreneurial ventures. The course includes two practical placements across different social work sectors.

Full-time program duration: 2 years starting September
