Routes into social work

This route might involve either a 3-year (BA) or 2-year (MA) qualification course, with work-based placements in years 2 and 3 for the BA course, and in both years 1 and 2 for the MA course.

You would be trained as a generic social worker and could opt to work in either children’s social care or in adult’s social care.

The entry requirements and admissions processes for each university may vary slightly, so it’s worth checking this out on their website before you apply.
