Social Work MSc

Social workers help people to live more successfully within their local communities by helping them find solutions to their problems. To succeed, social workers must work not only with clients but their families and friends as well as working closely with other organisations including the police, National Health Service, and schools.<br/><br/>During our two-year MSc programme you will learn the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the social worker role. Additionally, you will learn the key methods, interventions, and skills for working with diverse communities and service users.
