Social work is serious, life-changing business. It calls for good hearts and strong minds.<br/><br/>What do social workers do? Where there’s a need, we’re there; wherever society is squeezed or stretched, we fill the gaps. From child protection to vulnerable adults, to the cost of living and the UK’s mental health crisis, it’s our job to find answers — for individuals, families, and whole communities. Social workers battle against discrimination, poverty, injustice, and inequality, and we earn victories every day. What’s more, we leave a lasting mark on the lives of those who need us.<br/><br/>It’s not always an easy job, but it is a deeply rewarding one. More than a career, it’s a calling. On this social work degree, we’ll deal in the real — the reality of practice, and of people. Prepare for an eye-opening, stereotype-busting journey of personal growth, as you explore the key issues, questions and processes, and emerge with the skills, knowledge and experience to be a professional social worker — someone who’s ready to make your own special difference to the world.<br/><br/>**Why study Social Work at NTU?**<br/><br/><br/>- **Learn everything that employers expect to see** — this course is accredited by Social Work England.<br/><br/><br/>- **Join a wider family** — our industry connections and opportunities stretch right across the Midlands.<br/><br/><br/>- **Experience the real world of social work,** with 170 days of practice placements included as standard.<br/><br/><br/>- **92% of our Social Work students enjoyed** and would recommend this course (National Student Survey, 2023).<br/>
