Can I do social work masters with a undergraduate law degree

I’m unsure what I want to do but in terms of what I’m most interested in studying It would be law, if I decided I do want to do social work in the future could I do a masters in social work?

Hey @Sxoxl,

Most universities will require you to have an undergraduate degree (2:1 or 2:2) in any subject area. Additionally, they will require you to have at least 3 months of relevant work experience either full-time, part-time, paid, or voluntary, in the field of social care, health or education. If you wish to do social work in the future, I would encourage you to gain some work experience in the field. This would definitely help your application. I also encourage you to contact the universities you are thinking about to ask them about their entry requirements.

I hope this helps and best of luck on your journey!
