Every day you’ll face different challenges, working in diverse communities and helping individuals with complex needs. Delivered alongside our partners in the Cheshire & Merseyside Social Work Teaching Partnership, this social work course prepares you for a career in the field of your choice. This could involve supporting families and children, or in adult social work, including mental health.

Across your three years, you’ll complete 30 on-campus skills development days to improve your practice. You’ll be taught by a team of qualified and registered social workers, including approved mental health practitioners. Listen to their stories and learn from their expertise about interventions, perspectives and settings. The programme is underpinned by Social Work England’s professional standards for social work education and training and by reference to the British Association of Social Work’s Code of Ethics and other requirements.
