Through a blend of academic knowledge and practice-based learning, the MA Social Work programme equips you to become an informed and qualified practitioner. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives from psychology, sociology, social policy, law and social work, the course is underpinned by principles of human rights, social justice and anti-oppressive practice. Social Work students will develop the knowledge, skills and values needed to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives, communities and society.
You must also have a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Check (including child and adult barred list check) and a Occupational Health Check - both of these are organised by the University.
For this course, you will be required to register for the DBS Update Service (information relating to this service can be found here). You will need to register for this within 30 days of your DBS certificate being issued. Registration with the DBS Update Service incurs a small annual cost which the University will reimburse.
If you do not register for the Update Service within 30 days, or your registration lapses, and you later attend a placement where this is a requirement, you will have to pay for a new DBS check, which will enable you to sign up to the Update Service. Please contact dbs@essex.ac.uk if you have any questions relating to this.”
A satisfactory Overseas Criminal Record Check/Local Police Certificate is also required, in addition to a DBS check, where you have lived outside of the UK in the last 5 years for 6 months or more. Where it is not possible to obtain an Overseas Check a relevant professional reference may be accepted
Interviews will be via Zoom, details of which will be provided in advance.
Interviews and offers are made on a first-come-first-served basis until the available number of places are filled. After this, offers will be made for a place on the waiting list.
Don't worry if you cannot provide your reference when you make your application, as if we make you an offer you will be able to provide this at a later stage. Your reference should be recent and verifiable.
