Overview

Social Work MA/PgDip is the course from Coventry University for you if you're interested in working with people and taking an essential role in protecting children and young people from harm and in supporting people of every age.

Why you should study this course

Social work is a highly rewarding profession that requires human compassion. Social workers work with people experiencing difficulties and deal with many complex issues arising, for example, from poverty or relationship problems.

Your role is to assist individuals, groups and communities to develop practical strategies to improve their situations and make a positive difference – protecting the vulnerable from harm and abuse or supporting people to live independently. It allows you to give something back to society.

This course engages the head, the heart and the hands because theoretical knowledge, skills and practical experience and values of human compassion are all essential requisites of an effective social worker. The course provides you with rigorous academic study and a professional qualification upon successful completion of the course.
