Social work degrees

Social work is a rewarding and challenging profession that supports those in need.

It is a career where you can make a difference to people dealing with situations such as poverty, addiction, unemployment, disability, abuse and mental illness. You could also be helping people deal with issues around fostering and adoption, safeguarding, or living independently.

We offer social work degrees and courses at all levels.
