Social Work Offer Guide
Congratulations on you offer to study MA Social Work. The admissions process for Social Work is different from that of other postgraduate courses. This offer guide will help you with your next steps.
Now that you have your conditional offer, you need to inform the University and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) of your decision. Using the UCAS Apply service, you can firmly accept your offer of a place. If you do not reply by the deadline set by UCAS, your offer will be declined by default.
There are conditions attached to your offer which are required by all postgraduates studying Social Work.
Disclosure and Barring (DBS) check All Social Work applicants are required to complete an enhanced DBS check. Applicants who firmly accept their place will be sent a DBS pack by the University which should be completed and returned to us. Fitness to Practice The Social Work programme is subject to the University’s fitness to practise regulations. You will be expected to sign a programme specific code of conduct when you register upon your course. Full-time international and non-UK nationals are guaranteed University postgraduate accommodation if they submit the online accommodation application form by 31 July 2023.
UK nationals studying on a postgraduate programme are not eligible for University accommodation. There is a limited supply of University-managed accommodation in houses owned by the University or private providers. The Accommodation Services LIVING office is located on the ground floor of University Centre and can assist with any help and advice you may require; along with a contract checking service for renting in the private sector.
Disability can mean different things for different people. It may include you, even if you don’t consider yourself to be disabled.
