The programme contains modules designed to equip you for jobs like team leader, workforce development manager, service manager, principal social worker and more.
During the course, you’ll learn from practising social workers, who will bring theory to life with their front-line experiences. Both carers and people with lived experience contribute to assessment and quality assurance on this programme, making sure the content aligns with current workplace and community needs.
All modules in this programme include practical application, and are available to take as standalones. That means you’ll gain academic credit towards your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) or a postgraduate award such as an Advanced Social Work MA.
You’ll develop your practice through a flexible approach, applying your learning to real-world settings and learning from experts in their field.
Teaching will incorporate recent changes in social work education and regulation, including the Chief Social Workers' Knowledge and Skills Statements and the requirements of Social Work England.
You will need to complete:
- 60 credits for the PgCert
- 120 credits for the PgDip
- 180 credits for the MA, including a research project
