Overview

Social workers operate within the context of relationships to support individuals, groups and communities to realise their potential working with service users and their families. In this MA in Social Work offered at The University of Hull you’ll learn to work and make decisions in a multi-professional context, liaising closely with organisations such as the police, NHS, schools, probation and the voluntary sector.

Taught by experts with real-world practice experience, you’ll gain insight into social issues people live with as well as the policies relating to social welfare and the safeguarding of adults and children.

We are one of the founding members of the Humber Social Work Teaching Partnership, giving you access to the biggest employers of social work practitioners in the area. Our strong relationships with a wide range of statutory and voluntary agencies mean that we can provide you with high-quality placements.

Future prospects

You’ll have many different career options after studying Social Work that will involve working actively within your community including roles like social worker, mental health practitioner, substance use practitioner, community worker, domestic abuse support worker, welfare rights advisor, youth justice officer and housing officer.

You might decide to continue studying this fascinating subject, signing onto a postgraduate course to enhance your skills in therapeutic practice or research. You may even want to return to the University of Hull in a few years to complete a doctorate in social work.
