The School of Healthcare is part of the Faculty of Medicine and Health in the University of Leeds. Its mission is to be a centre of excellence in the provision of high quality education and research and to develop knowledge that both informs and improves practice.

Programmes are designed to allow you as much choice as possible in the way that you study and methods of training are highly participative with a combination of tutor led input and support, learning through group work and discussion, and individual exercises and practice.

The BA Social Work at the University of Leeds gives you the opportunity to study the theories and research you will need to be a successful professional. You'll complete three placements to develop your practical skills in social work and related settings, supported by a qualified practitioner, to the guidance and insight when you start your first job. If you want a challenging and varied career with opportunities to work with people at times when they need it most, this is the profession you should consider. Bursaries are available and career opportunities are excellent.
