Created for those who want to make a meaningful difference to communities, families and individuals, our masters combines classroom-based problem-solving with firsthand, placement learning. We’ll develop the valuable skills you need to be a compassionate and solution focussed social worker.

You'll experience simulation workshops where you will practice real-world situations, whilst attending various lectures and seminars. These will be under the guidance of social workers, who have experience in children and families, mental health, youth justice, substance misuse and older adults. Through working with our IMPACT members, you'll have opportunities to learn directly from people with lived experience of health and social care services. You’ll also grapple with important debates and research in social work, such as how social media affects your role and how you can build a positive online identity.

On placement, you’ll put what you’ve learnt into practice and choose the specialist area you want to work in. You might decide to support those with mental illness, people leaving care or those experiencing homelessness. Our expert lecturers and practice educators will support you in delivering effective interventions to those you work with.

Our assessment methods are created to complement your placement choice. You’ll complete essays, case studies, quizzes, presentations and reflective evaluations of your experiences. You’ll also be asked to maintain a professional development journal, a reflective and supportive portfolio for your future career.

By becoming a Worcester Social Work MA student, you’ll choose a masters which works around you. The timetabling of our teaching sessions can be flexible if you have family and work commitments, with our 1-1 lecturer tutorials also bookable at times which suit you. You may become eligible (UK students only) for an NHS bursary which contributes to your tuition and living costs.
