Social Work (Postgraduate Diploma) PgDip

Social workers build meaningful relationships to support individuals, groups, and communities in achieving their potential. As a social work professional, you’ll act as an advisor, counsellor, and advocate, engaging with service users and their families while collaborating with key organisations such as the police, NHS, schools, probation services, and the voluntary sector.<br/><br/>Our Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in Social Work is an intensive 18-month programme designed for those who want to qualify as a social worker without completing a full Master’s degree. While it covers the same core professional training as an MA, the PGDip focuses on practical skills and knowledge, without the requirement for a dissertation.<br/><br/>Social work is a dynamic and rewarding career, offering the opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives during times of need. Taught by experienced practitioners, this programme equips you with essential skills in safeguarding, social welfare policy, mental health, disability, substance misuse, and homelessness.<br/><br/>This programme is accredited by Social Work England, allowing you to apply for professional registration upon graduation. Many UK students benefit from financial support through the NHS Social Work Bursary Scheme, helping with tuition and living costs.<br/><br/>Our strong partnerships with statutory and voluntary agencies ensure high-quality placement opportunities, providing invaluable real-world experience. As a founding member of the Humber Social Work Teaching Partnership, we offer direct links to the region’s largest employer of social work practitioners.
