While you study, you’ll benefit from top quality teaching at Kingston University. Not only are we ranked Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework, we’re also top in London for Social Work (Guardian University Guide 2025).
We collaborate across Kingston University and with external organisations to solve social care issues, which means you’ll have the chance to try out your learning on real-life problems.
A portion of your learning will take place in our specialist Art Room, which replicates a secondary school classroom. The Art Room gives you a unique opportunity to learn a range of creative practices for values-based work with children and young people.
You’ll also have the opportunity to refine your skills in our purpose-built Practice Learning Suite, which simulates interactions with people with lived experience.
Outside of the University, you’ll spend time applying your learning on placements in South West London and Surrey. Placements will be in settings such as child protection, youth justice, mental health, vulnerable adults settings, schools, drugs and substance misuse services.
Alongside your placements, you’ll study assessment, intervention, evaluation, safeguarding, evidence-based practice, research and law. This focus on real-world learning will leave you expertly prepared for social work practice in field, residential, day care, hospital, prison and service user-run settings.
