Social Work, BA (Hons)

Social work is a profound, transformative profession demanding compassion and resilience. Social workers address societal needs—from child protection and vulnerable adults to the cost-of-living crisis and the UK’s mental health challenges—providing solutions for individuals, families, and communities. They combat discrimination, poverty, injustice, and inequality, achieving daily victories and leaving lasting impacts on those they serve. Though challenging, it is deeply rewarding, more a calling than a career.This Social Work degree at NTU immerses you in real-world practice, accredited by Social Work England to meet employer standards.
