About this course
Our MA Social Work course will help you become a highly effective social worker through a combination of teaching and practice placements.
Our course meets the requirements of the Professional Capabilities Framework (PCF) for social work practice in England, the Knowledge and Skills Statements for children, adult and mental health social workers, and the regulatory requirements of Social Work England.
You will be eligible to apply to register as a qualified social worker with Social Work England upon completion of the course. Our generic qualification enables you to work in all areas of social work practice.
You will benefit from particularly high quality placements and greater input from practising social workers through our membership of the Greater Manchester Social Work Academy, a government-sponsored Teaching Partnership that ensures close links between local employers and universities across Greater Manchester.
You will learn in small cohorts with a supportive and inclusive teaching ethos and benefit from innovative and effective teaching and learning methods, including the use of simulation suites to improve your practice skills.
Each student is allocated an individual Academic Adviser who offers academic and pastoral support across the two years of the programme.
Overseas students will, in addition to the support above, receive support from the language centre and our well established international student services. The course proactively supports overseas students.
You will have the opportunity to work on an MA dissertation in a social work area you are most interested in with support from an allocated individual supervisor
Both placements and taught elements will help you learn how to work with a variety of user groups in a range of settings
