Overview

Studying the Advanced Social Work Practice program at University of Bedfordshire will equip you with the knowledge and expertise in contemporary issues, strategies and professional skills in social work practice.

Key Features

The flexible and adaptable nature of this course will allow you to undertake a combination of optional units to tailor your study into specialised areas of social work, and as a result, this will open doors to a range of career pathways.

The flexible structure of this course also aims to support students who may be working alongside their studies, which we know a majority of our students will be. The unit in Adult Exploitation and Safeguarding will allow you to address the serious issue of adult exploitation while exploring the implications for policy and practice in the UK.

You can develop your understanding of Sexual Abuse and Exploitation by examining how it occurs, the types of sexual harm and the impact it has on an individual.

Careers

The units on this course are designed to help you develop your career or change direction within social work. You can use the specialist expertise you gain to take on a leading role in practice development within your workplace. You can also seek leadership or management opportunities in social work or social care as the course proceeds or upon graduation.

You may also like to continue your development by progressing to a Professional Doctorate programme.
