BA (Honours) Social Work (Wales)

Social workers support and protect some of society’s most deprived and vulnerable people. It’s immensely challenging and rewarding work, requiring a high level of motivation and commitment. We offer a distance learning, work-based route to the degree in social work alongside our employer partners. It opens up a host of opportunities to people who, for one reason or another, require a more flexible and individualized approach to social work training. Successful graduates are eligible to apply for registration as qualified social workers with Social Care Wales (SCW).

There are no formal entry requirements to study this qualification.

In a distance learning course, there are typically no strict regulations regarding part-time employment, providing students with the flexibility to pursue work opportunities while studying remotely. This autonomy allows individuals to manage their schedules and balance professional commitments with their educational pursuits.
