The MA in Social Work gives students with a first degree a professional social work qualification at Master's level.

The programme will enable you to be a confident, competent, qualified social work practitioner. We offer a well-established course with a national reputation for producing high-caliber workers. Our course is designed, managed, and delivered by a programme management team, in partnership with people that use services, the Bradford Social Work Teaching Partnership (Bradford Council, University of Bradford and Bradford College) and includes students, practice placement agencies, lecturers, and practitioners.

Stakeholder involvement ensures that our course maintains a dynamic, outward-looking approach toward social work education with a clear focus on the expertise and experience of people who use services. Students are supported to shape the curriculum and engage in community activism; we have an active Social Justice Society and strong international links.

The programme is built upon the following standards and requirements for social work training:

Social Work England Standards
BASW Professional Capabilities Framework
BASW Code of Ethics
QAA (Quality Assurance Agency) benchmark statements for social policy administration and social work
