Master of Social Work - Social Work

Program Description

This new course is designed for graduates who wish to qualify as a social worker within a two-year time frame.

The course is unique in that it has been developed alongside the MSc Physiotherapy and MSc Occupational Therapy programmes to prepare students to work effectively within the complex and rapidly evolving environment of health and social care. The Simulation and Clinical Skills Centre provides the facilities to develop their skills in realistic settings including the home environment.

Being both intellectually challenging and practical, this programme will prepare students for the real world of social work within the areas of Children and Families, Criminal Justice and Adult social work. Students will enter the workplace as a confident, competent and autonomous social worker, equipped to lead the delivery of personalised and responsive services, which place individuals and families at the centre of their care and support.

Please note: The programme is approved by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC).
