Upon completion of the course, you have a good knowledge of risk and assessment, a clear sense of the opportunities and demands of being a professional social work practitioner, and the skills and knowledge required at a newly qualified level. Core modules include Psychological Perspectives of the Life Course, The Legal and Professional Knowledge Base of Social Work, Social Work Methods and Interventions and Social Work Practice in Contemporary Society. Masterclasses offer the chance to learn alongside external practitioners and there are strong links with partner agencies who provide both practice placements and contribute to the teaching and development of the course.
