Entry Requirements

This course is designed for those with an undergraduate degree in a non-social work subject that are:

  • considering a career in social work or other humanitarian work in the UK or overseas
  • looking towards a career in social work and social care research or leadership 

The entry requirement is an upper second-class (2.1) honours degree classification or higher. Applicants with a 2:2 degree classification may be considered, on a case-by-case basis, if they have further related postgraduate study or extensive professional experience. Normally, this would be a minimum of 2 years of significant and relevant social work or social care experience. 

We also require GCSE Mathematics and English at grade C/4 or certificated equivalent level two numeracy and literacy qualification.  

minimum of 30 days related practice-based experience. This can be in a variety of fields and does not have to be in a social work setting. Personal experience may count towards your practice-based experience but it is important that you are able to evidence some practice-based experience alongside this. This must show a sustained commitment, evidenced by a practice-based reference. If you do not fulfil these requirements or want further advice, please contact us directly.  

Please note that work experience is not considered in lieu of meeting the academic entry requirements. You will be required to meet the practice element in addition to meeting the academic criteria.
