100 years of teaching social work
We have been teaching social work at the University of Edinburgh for over 100 years. Our graduates work throughout the world to make a real difference in the communities in which they live.
We are a diverse and international community of staff and students, providing a range of educational opportunities for both intending and qualified social workers, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level (BSc, MSW, MSc by Research, PGCert and PhD), and others who are interested in social issues (MSc, PhD).
Local, national and international influence
We work with local and international partners on all our teaching programmes, to ensure that our teaching reflects our commitment to social work values, ethics and social justice.
Our research reflects the wide ranging experience of our staff and postgraduate researchers and, with the help of our partners, our findings and knowledge exchange makes a difference across the world.
