The MA in Social Work offers both a professional qualification and an academic degree. Graduates who complete the program can apply for registration with Social Work England, a mandatory step to practice social work in England.
This program actively blends theoretical knowledge with practical experience, combining classroom learning with field placements. It provides comprehensive training covering all service user groups, with strong involvement from service users, caregivers, professionals, and managers throughout the social work field.
While aligning with UK standards including QAA benchmarks and Social Work England requirements, the curriculum also incorporates the International Federation of Social Work's definition: Social work drives social transformation, addresses relationship challenges, and empowers individuals to improve lives. Drawing on behavioral theories and social systems, it operates where people engage with their environments. Core to the profession are principles of human rights and social justice.
