Hi, I'm looking to apply to study social work as well. Did two years of uni in Liverpool doing a history degree but not for me, so thought I'd be more suited to SW.

Hi Sean,

Are you applying to do the FT or PT route and also to UU option also?

Stuart.
Hi, FT option, I would prefer to go through UU tbh, just personal choice. I have been looking at health and social care / well being also.

I am applying to both but would prefer the Queens option if i get a choice. im currently completing a HNC in health and social care and enjoying it very much.
Cool, what sort of modules and that are you doing and what are you learning about? I found that when I was doing my history degree the first year modules were fine, but second year was just awful. So that's when I decided that it wasn't for me. I'm hoping that the change in direction will be for the best.
