Course overview

Our MA Social Work (Integrated Degree) Apprenticeship programme has been developed in partnership with Norfolk County Council. While working and studying with us, we’ll ensure you have a blend of opportunities to bring together the academic, practical and lived experience of social work in your teaching and learning opportunities. Social work involves assisting and working with people of all ages, races, disabilities, class, economic statuses, sexuality, gender, faith, and belief (including working with relatives and carers) in a wide range of settings, for example mental health, physical disabilities, learning disabilities, child and adult safeguarding.

Social Work apprentices will play a vital role in helping individuals and their families achieve their goals. Completion of the programme will prepare apprentices for a successful career in this rewarding field and enable successful graduates to apply to become registered as a Social Worker with Social Work England. The Social Work (Integrated Degree) Apprenticeship offers the opportunity for apprentices to become Social Workers by studying on a fully funded social work degree while receiving a salary.

This requires applicants to have approved funding and support from a relevant employer throughout the duration of the programme. On completing your MA Social Work (Integrated Degree) Apprenticeship you’ll graduate ready for a career as a qualified practitioner and could go on to become a successful senior manager or practice s
