Find your course

The wide field of social work is covered by numerous postgraduate courses serving a variety of purposes. Most courses balance taught elements with coursework but some focus more on independent research. You will develop specialist knowledge and practical skills in an area such as child welfare, family service or health care; there are also management and leadership options. Alternatively you can choose a research course and project topics might include dementia studies or social policy. More general courses offer professional accreditation if you do not have this from your first degree.
