Please refer to the Undergraduate Course listing for MA Social Work to apply This Master’s degree is both an academic qualification and a professional qualification. As it is approved by Social Work England you’ll be eligible to apply for registration as a social worker on successful completion of the course. Why study MA Social Work at BU? - This practical degree blends a powerful combination of academic study with essential practical experience - Placements during the course mean you will gain lots of relevant experience operating in real-world settings and will develop strong working relationships with those already in the profession - Our cohorts are small and extremely well supported - Our staff team is research active across a wide range of topics relevant to current social work practice, and this informs the curriculum and the learning experience of students - Each student is allocated a Personal Tutor from the teaching team - People with lived experience are actively and meaningfully involved in all aspects of the course, through the Public Involvement in Education and Research (PIER) partnership. The involvement of service users and carers was developed in social work and is now a feature across the faculty.
