Careers for Social Work MSc

You will graduate with MSc Social Work, which is a professional social work qualification.

This will allow you to apply to the SSSC to be registered as a qualified social worker and to apply for employment.

You can do this across a range of social work roles in the statutory, voluntary and private sectors, and also in a range of allied professions. Employment prospects for social workers are currently very good. Almost all of our students move into employment soon after graduating.

You will be equipped to work as an accountable, autonomous professional. You will be skilled to work in partnership with individuals, families, groups, organisations and communities.

Social workers can also use their social work qualification in other social service roles. These may also need you to be registered with the SSSC.

Additionally, throughout the course, you will have developed a range of highly transferable skills such as:

• communication
• project management

These can be applied to roles across social care and in other fields.
