Introduction
This is the route into professional social work for applicants without a degree. It is both an academic undergraduate degree and a professional qualification in social work, awarded by Lancaster University. In this degree we aim to help students develop into confident social workers who:
- are reflexive, adaptable, skilled and capable of autonomous thought and independent learning;
- possess a knowledge and understanding of the legal, policy and organisational contexts of social work, and the relevant aspects of sociology, psychology and social policy;
- have acquired appropriate skills and values in order to practise competently in a range of settings where social work takes place, including for example hospitals and prisons, and to work alongside other professions;
- have an understanding of issues of social exclusion and of the implications of this for access to the personal social services.
