Social Work (Hons) Kingston University

Overview

During the Social Work (Hons) course at Kingston University , you'll learn directly from people with lived experience and teaching consultants currently in practice. We're part of a teaching partnership network with seven local authorities and two voluntary organisations. This means that you will be taught in the classroom by practising social workers who will bring theory to life with their front-line experiences.
