All students follow core modules during the first year. In Year 2 students choose a specialist pathway. All students undertake a dissertation in Year 2. Bursaries are available.
All university and agency based teaching and learning are structured in accordance with the National Occupational Standards for Social Work and the requirements of the Care Council for Wales. The programme will be delivered between early September and late July of each year with one week vacation periods at Christmas and Easter.
