Overview

The approach to learning and teaching on the Family Support program at Leeds Trinity University is underpinned by theoretical knowledge, the latest research and contemporary issues facing family support. They're well-connected with local employers who provide specialist services in family support and early help and regularly consult with them to ensure the course content meets the needs of the sector.

By the time you graduate, you'll have had the chance to critically reflect on your practice, learn from evidence-informed practice, and contribute to the development of practice knowledge in family support.

Key facts:

Study on the only MA Family Support programme in the UK. An alternative to an MA Social Work, this MA gives you the chance to explore family support in a range of settings.
Learn from active researchers at the forefront of their fields, with extensive experience as family support practitioners, registered social workers and psychologists.
Complete work-based learning assessments with your existing employer, or we’ll work with you to arrange placements within local authority settings, voluntary or independent sector.
Benefit from the course structure designed to fit in with a full-time job. You’ll have a block induction (two evening sessions) prior to starting the course. You’ll then attend two evenings a week including group seminars, lectures and one-to-one tutorials. If you’re studying on a part-time basis, you’ll attend one evening a week.
