Postgraduate Social Work
Our accredited MA Social Work is a taught Masters degree for graduates from relevant disciplines who are able to recognise the perspective of service users, their families and carers, and who can demonstrate a clear commitment to engaging with the complexity of contemporary social work.
Delivered alongside our partners in the Cheshire & Merseyside Social Work Teaching Partnership, practice learning is a key feature of the student experience. 170 days will be spent on placement, supported by 30 days of assessed social work practice skills across the two-year course.
Upon successful completion of the programme, you will gain eligibility to apply for registration with Social Work England as a qualified social worker.
100% of our social work students are employed or in further study 15 months after graduation (Graduate Outcomes data released 2024 from 2021/22 graduates)
