Studying Social Work at Kingston will accelerate your path towards a career with the potential to change lives for the better. Social workers are highly sought after, and this qualification will open opportunities in everything from children’s services and community care to criminal justice and mental health.
You’ll learn from social work academics, researchers, expert practitioners and people with lived experience across a range of specialist social work fields. Through a blend of theory and practice, you’ll deepen your expertise in your chosen specialism and equip yourself with a range of skills.
Prepare for transformative learning experiences in a supportive, inclusive environment. You’ll follow a psycho-social and life-course approach, encouraging critical thinking and anti-discriminatory practice in response to people and community needs.
Teaching will come from fully qualified experts, many of whom are also practitioners.
On successful completion of this course, you’ll be able to apply to register with Social Work England to work as a qualified social worker.
Many of our graduates have even transferred their qualification across the globe, with former students currently working in the USA, Canada and Australia.
Throughout the course, you’ll benefit from Kingston University’s Developing Together Teaching Partnership with local authorities and voluntary organisations. The partnership creates a leading community of social work education, academic research and frontline practice.
