Social Work PGCert / PGDip / MSc

Robert Gordon University

The MSc Social Work course at Robert Gordon University focuses on the values, skills and competencies required for the practice of social work to the qualifying level set by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC). It will give you the ability to positively impact society and improve the lives of individuals in an important profession.

The higher exit option (MSc) is an academic award based on research rather than a professional award and offers a methodological underpinning for those seeking to move into research or training in social work.

Alternatively, as a PgDip graduate you will be capable of gaining employment in areas where a professional qualification in social work is required, including field work, group care, community care and hospital settings in the public, voluntary and private sectors. You will also gain PGCert and PGDip awards in this course.
