Postgraduate Study
Postgrad queries: Is a Masters the only way into social work? Does Clearing exist for Postgrads?
I will be finishing a BA in public service management in December, and would like to go into social work, but I have been told a Masters degree is the only way. Is this right? Or does my (relevant) degree give me a shortcut?Unfortunately, although your BA will be a useful foundation, if you don’t have an undergraduate qualification in social work, you are now required to take a Masters in the subject. The majority of students do this on a two-year full-time programme, which includes substantial and varied work placements. If the prospect of two more years in academia is deterring you, you’ll be relieved to know that varied and practical placements form a large part of the course and that these are paid. Grants and bursaries are also likely to be available for some students.
