In the 2012 National Student Survey, our teaching received a 95% satisfaction rate, with a 95/100 overall score in the 2013 Guardian University Guide league table.
The interdisciplinary nature of the course and extensive group work made the course so much more interesting than others I had looked at.

The School of Social Work is an internationally renowned academic department dedicated to research and teaching. We have a strong interdisciplinary focus with a reputation for policy relevant empirical research.

The teaching team within the School promote a friendly, scholarly and stimulating atmosphere and this is matched by students being both sociable and industrious so they make the most of their time with us.

Social work academics in the School are nationally and internationally recognised experts in this field of research and we host the Centre for Research on the Child and Family, a key institution in the UNICEF Childwatch international research network.
