Social Work Resources

As a Social Work student, you will have access to a number of valuable resources.

With personalised support and a measured variety of practice and theory, see where your Social Work journey at Lancaster University could take you.

With our placements, you'll get get hands-on experience within different organisations such as local authorities, Barnardo's or Age Concern. With our individualised support, you'll be able to get to know your teaching team on a meaningful level. That’s why we keep our social work cohort small. You’ll always have someone to turn to for support and advice throughout your coursework and placements.

We also have partnerships with public, private, voluntary and independent agencies who work with us in a range of ways including teaching, curriculum design and providing practice learning placements.
