Social Work

About this course

Social work is a professional degree that prepares you to work directly with individuals, families, and communities facing the most challenging circumstances, including poverty, domestic abuse, mental illness, addiction, child protection concerns, disability, and the breakdown of family relationships. It is both a rigorous academic discipline, drawing on sociology, psychology, law, and ethics, and a deeply practical profession governed by clear legal duties and professional standards. Social workers operate across a wide range of statutory and voluntary settings, exercising professional judgement in situations where the stakes for the people involved are extremely high. At the University of East Anglia, which has a long-standing reputation for high-quality social work education, you will study this three-year full-time programme with a typical entry tariff of 136 points.
