De Montfort University Social Studies Programs

De Montfort University has a 30-year history of delivering social work education at different levels. This course uses this experience to offer social work qualification at degree level with successful completion providing eligibility to apply for registration with Social Work England.   

The course is vocational and up to half of it is spent on placement in social work settings. The course aims to produce capable and competent students ready to enter the profession and make a difference in service users’ lives. The qualification is generic so students will be able to work across a range of adult and childcare settings in both the statutory and voluntary sectors.   

They will benefit from a variety of teaching methods including formal lectures, student-led learning, problem-based learning, self-directed study and e-learning. Alongside this, the Social Work has 170 days of practice-based learning.
