Overview
The course promotes relationship-based practice and is unique because of the link with the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.
It is extremely popular, with up to 600 applicants each year for 40 places. The standard for entry is therefore very high, although good experience of practice will be given serious consideration.
The opportunity to study both at the University of East London and the Tavistock allows you to experience university culture and a working clinic. As part of the course, you will participate in a week-long Group Relations Conference as well as weekly work discussion groups.
Because the Social Work course from University of East London attracts students from different cultural backgrounds and a range of disciplines - including psychology, law, sociology, criminology, business studies and even science - the knowledge our students bring enriches the course experience as much as the teaching.
Your future career
University of East London is the principal social work training provider in east London. Choose this course and you will have a head start when it comes to finding a job in social work in the area.
The MA Social Work has been developed in collaboration with local employers so it reflects the priorities and needs of contemporary social work practice in east London. Local employers trust the training given to our graduates and regularly employ them once qualified.
There are good employment opportunities in social work in London, often in children and family contexts but also other service groups and in a variety of settings - voluntary and statutory, for example.
After gaining a professional and academic qualification in social work at postgraduate level, you are required to continue your professional development as part of your professional registration.
This will firstly be through the Assessed and Supported Year in Employment and may also be through further post-qualifying awards in specialist areas of social work at the University of East London and the Tavistock.
