practitioners in the area.
We have excellent relationships with statutory and voluntary agencies in the
community. Hull is an excellent place to train as a social worker due to its diversity.
There’s a healthy mixture of urban, suburban, rural and coastal communities,
all within easy travelling distance. So we can offer you meaningful placement
opportunities in the region, where you can hone your skills before you graduate.
And if you don’t meet the entry requirements for our full degrees, there’s still a way
in. You can study part time for a year on the University Certificate in Health and
Social Care Practice course or the Alternative Route into Health and Social Care

have English and Maths GCSE) means you can apply for our BA Social Work degree.
For those who already have an undergraduate degree, we also offer a two year
Masters in Social Work.
We’re always looking to improve our courses. Which means we do review our modules from time to time,
to make sure they’re of a high standard and are relevant to you and to your potential future employers.
The information in this guide is correct at the time of going to print, but some of the modules could change
before 2021. Please contact our admissions team if you do have any questions or for further information on
