Overview

International Social Welfare is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in Social Science is reading led, with methods training in the middle years and a dissertation at the end.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
