BA (Hons) Social Work
This integrated Degree Apprenticeship in Social Work will equip students with the knowledge, skills and values to practise as a social worker in the full range of social work settings. The course recognises that social issues become problems when social processes and institutions fail to meet the needs of individuals, groups and communities. Personal experience cannot be separated from the social, political and economic context in which social work is practised. In our teaching, we provide opportunities for students to develop an enquiring, analytical and creative approach to working with a range of people. The programme will build graduate knowledge and skills to study systematically and independently at degree level. The programme will support students to develop their theoretical understanding and ability to critically evaluate research evidence, which forms the foundation of effective social work practice. On completing the course, and registering with Social Work England, you will be a caring, sensitive, confident, autonomous, competent, critically reflective, reflexive and research-minded social work practitioner, committed to engaging in ethical and politically aware practice to change systems which preserve inequality, oppression and social exclusion. To study for this degree apprenticeship students will need to exhibit the following skills and behaviours:
