    Social Work

    About

    You can protect the most vulnerable members of our society and make a positive impact for social justice in the dynamic, challenging and rewarding field of social work. Through both academic and practice-based modules, our MSc course prepares you to effect real change through research-based practice.

    You'll earn both a master's degree and the opportunity to qualify as a registered social worker in this intensive two-year, full-time programme – and develop your skills with the full support of our professional, experienced and dedicated staff. At GCU, you'll be part of a thriving and diverse community that's driven by a shared belief in global engagement, social responsibility and a commitment to the common good.

    This challenging MSc Social Work course provides an accelerated route to qualification over two years. Successful students will draw on a combination of academic and practice experience, enabling them to study effectively at the master's level.

    Progress to a career as a social worker or researcher with local authorities or third-sector organisations. Apply existing skills in related disciplines to critical reflection, social work practice and research.

    How to Apply

    The easiest way to apply for a postgraduate programme is using our online application form. This form is simple to complete and allows you to upload additional documentation to support your application.

    At peak times, the University receives an exceptionally high volume of applications and enquiries. We will make every effort to respond to applicants as soon as possible.

    Please note that currently, it may take slightly longer than usual to respond to your enquiry or provide an initial decision on your application.

    Some additional documents help GCU evaluate your application. They support the information you provided in your application form. Certificates, transcripts and references are very important. Your personal statement is your opportunity to tell GCU why you want to apply for your chosen course and so is equally as important.
