Studying for your Social Work Degree cover

Studying for your Social Work Degree is PERFECT for anyone wanting to train to become a social worker. After reading this fully comprehensive guide you will understand:

  • the structure and culture of HE, and how social work fits into it
  • what to expect, and what will be expected of you, as a university student
  • teaching and assessment methods within social work, so that you can perform to the best of your ability in an academic environment
  • how to manage your social work studies in an effective way and make the most of the resources available to you.

The books in our Critical Study Skills series will help you gain the knowledge, skills and strategies you need to achieve your goals. They provide support in all areas important for university study, including institutional and disciplinary policy and practice, self-management, and research and communication. Packed with tasks and activities to help you improve your learning, including learner autonomy and critical thinking, and to guide you towards reflective practice in your study and work life. Uniquely, this book is written by an experienced social work lecturer and an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) lecturer.

This is a very welcome, refreshing addition to the field.....I enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking of studying a social work degree or thinking of becoming a lecturer or an Associate Tutor on a social work degree programme.
