Overview

Social Work (2 year accelerated route) is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Social Work includes quantitative methods at most departments, which surprises applicants who expected essays alone.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £17,490 a year.

Send us your transcript and English result and we will list the departments that would consider you, with the entry condition on each.
