Course Overview

Social workers are responsible for promoting the rights of powerless people, protecting the vulnerable and disadvantaged and addressing the causes and effects of offending behaviour.

Validated by the Scottish Social Services Council and closely aligned to the Standards in Social Work Education, the degree will give you a recognised professional award in social work. It will also prepare you for the challenging social worker role.

You'll have the opportunity to work/study abroad, thanks to our well-established links with the New York University, New York USA, and an exchange agreement with the University of Malta.
