MA Social Work at University of Sunderland

Entry requirements

We require a minimum 2:2 undergraduate degree or equivalent. You also need Grade C/numerical grade 4 or above in GCSE English language. Please note, if you're an international applicant, you'll be required to demonstrate that you've met the English Language Testing System (IELTS) at a score of 7.0 in all components, or equivalent, before your application is assessed for the next stage of the selection process and an offer letter is issued. Supplementary questions for your application; To be considered for a place on this course, you must also complete the supplementary questions within the application form. The supplementary questions and application form will be used to assess whether you'll be invited to attend one of our selection days. Social work experience; To apply for this degree, you must have experience (voluntary or paid) in a social care setting. You can include placements that you've undertaken as part of college, but we do expect more experience than this. Experience could include volunteering during weekends, evenings, or holidays. We may also consider any relevant personal experience you might have. You should clearly describe your experience in the personal statement section of your application and show how this relates to a career in social work.
