Advanced practice for justice, safety and community wellbeing
Online only
Social work is a profession of judgment, relationships and justice. This advanced practice master's deepens your capacity for assessment, safeguarding, trauma-informed intervention and ethical leadership within welfare systems. You will critically engage social policy, law contexts and community practice while strengthening research literacy for evidence-informed service improvement. The capstone portfolio integrates case analysis, reflective practice and a practice-research project.
This programme is designed for post-qualifying development and advanced practice knowledge. Where professional title protection and registration exams exist in your jurisdiction, you must satisfy local regulatory requirements separately from this academic award.
Faculty spotlight
Practice educators with child and family and adult safeguarding leadership experience supervise portfolio work; policy faculty connect casework to structural analysis.
