Employment prospects for Social Work graduates are excellent and you will be able to pursue various social work careers across the country. Successful graduates will need to apply to Social Work England for registration. As Social Worker is a protected title, you need to have this registration before you can practice as a social worker. Only those graduating from a social work course can apply for this.
If you leave the course before completion, you may be able to be awarded an intermediate award, but you will not be able to register as a social worker.
Clearly this programme is designed specifically to prepare and train for the Social Work profession and it can be utilised to develop onward skills in specific/specialist roles that link to the core Social Work qualification.
