Social Work MA

This MA Social Work degree equips you with the skills, knowledge and reflective capacity you need to practise as an effective social worker.<br/><br/>You will develop a sound knowledge base that encompasses theory, the ethical and legal bases for practice, social policy and an understanding of how social work fits into organisational contexts.<br/><br/>The course promotes relationship-based practice and is unique because of the link with the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.<br/><br/>The opportunity to study both at the University of East London and the Tavistock allows you to experience university culture and a working clinic. As part of the course, you will participate in a week-long Group Relations Conference as well as weekly work discussion groups.<br/><br/>Because the course attracts students from different cultural backgrounds and a range of disciplines - including psychology, law, sociology, criminology, business studies and even science - the knowledge our students bring enriches the course experience as much as the teaching.<br/><br/>The accreditation agreement between the University of East London and Social Work England means that your degree will make you eligible to register as a social worker.
