Social work is dedicated to the improvement of people’s lives and the provision of care through addressing personal and social difficulties. From families to children, vulnerable individuals or those with poor mental health, social workers are needed across society.
It’s a highly rewarding career that comes with unique challenges and emotional demands but offers graduates the chance to make lasting positive changes in the community and individual lives.
There are more than 175 postgraduate courses in social work across UK universities, including postgraduate short courses, MA and MSc degrees, and doctoral research qualifications.
Most universities offering postgraduate courses in social work require applicants to have a relevant undergraduate degree and some also ask for work experience in social work or a related field.
Examples of the sorts of modules offered include social work theories and models, social policy and social justice, law, health services and cultures, identity and difference. Depending on your specialism, you might also look at areas such as early childhood development or youth and community work.
Due to the highly vocational nature of this area, most graduates go into social work or use the qualification to progress their existing social work career such as becoming a social work manager or educator. You could also explore research opportunities with government or independent think tanks.
