About Master of Social Work (MSW) (L508)

The Master of Social Work (MSW) at the University of Edinburgh is a postgraduate qualification for anyone wishing to practice as a qualified social worker. Students come from all over the world to this program, and go on to practice in diverse settings in social work practice, in training, in research, in government and in the public, private and voluntary sectors.

Students will gain a fundamental understanding of the theory and practice that underpins all work in the field, splitting their time between theoretical learning on campus and practical work in various learning environments.

Students have periods of practice learning in both first year (full time for 80 days) and second year (full time for 100 days). Placements are an integral part of the program, during which students will be attached to a social work practice setting and will be under the supervision of a practice educator.
