Study Social Work at one of the most highly regarded centres in the UK, internationally renowned for its leading role in social work education and research. You’ll graduate with a professional qualification and a body of knowledge and skills that open a wide range of exciting, rewarding and challenging employment opportunities.
You’ll develop your skills as a future social worker through teaching that emphasises reflective and relationship-based practice, combined with challenging and thought-provoking placement opportunities provided by our local partner agencies. Many of our lecturers are actively involved in research and nearly all are experienced practitioners. Importantly, current practitioners and people with lived experience are involved in teaching activities across the course. This means our teaching draws on leading research, while providing you with a direct insight into the latest social work issues and evidence-based practice.
At UEA, we pride ourselves on the support we provide for our students. As part of this, you’ll have an academic adviser, who’ll take an active interest in your professional development when at university and while on placement. From day one you’ll join a community and do a course with people and relationships at their core.
Our MA Social Work course will teach you about the theoretical foundations of Social Work, which are rooted in psychology and Sociology. You’ll explore social policy and the laws surrounding working with children and families, people with mental health issues, and vulnerable adults. And you’ll focus on what it means to work with individuals, families, groups, fellow social workers and other professionals.
Your learning will take many forms – lectures, seminars, group discussions, tutorials and workshops, simulated practice and recorded role plays to help you learn from them. You’ll benefit from professionals, people with lived experience being at the heart of our teaching.
You’ll also study the legal and social policy context of social work practice and apply your learning from across the programme in your Level 1 (70 days) placement.
