Social work is a profession dedicated to human rights - join this vital field.
This distinctive UK program enables you to become a qualified social worker while exploring crucial discussions about human rights and social justice within social work practice.
Leveraging our successful Social Work programs and the University's renowned human rights research, we've developed an innovative postgraduate approach to social work education.
