Course summary
Social workers help people find solutions to their problems and live more successfully in their communities. Sometimes this includes helping them confront and manage behaviours that put themselves and others at risk. To succeed, social workers must work not only with service users, but also with their service user’s families and friends, as well as other organisations including the police, NHS and schools. This course covers subjects such as law, partnership working, assessment and interventions, social science, mental health, disabilities, and families and children. During the three-year BSc programme, you will learn the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the social worker role. The University of Hertfordshire was ranked 2nd for Social Work in the 2022 Guardian University Guide.
