Social Work - BSc (Hons)

Why study this course?

Accredited by Social Work England, this demanding Social Work undergraduate degree will enable you to practise as a social worker. You’ll benefit from our extensive links with statutory organisations, local authorities and the voluntary sector, as well as from the experience our lecturers bring to the classroom.

London Met is the preferred provider of the North East London (NEL) commissioning panel, representing the Social Work Development Partnership of five local authorities. The partnership has commissioned us to train existing social workers to supervise graduates starting out in social work, which means you’ll receive a continuity of support from London Met throughout your career.
