Social Work 2013

Who else is applying for Social Work in 2013? I am applying to Sheffield, Durham, York, Lancaster and Leicester, :tongue:. I'm applying for the masters btw.

Little bit nervous as the decisions about bursaries are still up in the air.

Would be great to hear from others applying too.

applying for the BA at Lancaster, Bath, York, Leeds and Keele.
Also nervous about the bursaries discussion as if i have worked it out correctly it will mean a lot more money if the bursaries arent there! especially seeing as many of the unis say its beneficial to have a car in your 3rd year :/
has anyone received their offers for interview yet for the BA?

I'm applying to Keele ,Kent, BCU and Portsmouth :smile: have any of you sent your applications off yet?, The BA course.

And also, this question is directed to the MA course applicant, do you have any advice on the BA course interview, anything their most likely to ask? (if your directly coming from a BA of Social work that is )

No I did not do a BA in Social Work. The MA is mainly for people who did an undergraduate degree in a different subject, for me it was sociology. Basically, both courses end with the same professional qualification, but the master is condensed into 2 years instead of 3. However, if you type into the search engine 'social work interview' there will be quite a few threads from previous years, with hints and tips.

Hi!!

I'm applying for SW BAs at Lancaster, Birmingham, Liverpool hope, UClan and edge hill. Already getting nervous about interviews as I'm terrible at them :biggrin:. Really looking forward to actually sending off my application. Still waiting on a reference from my old college. Has anyone been to any open days?

Yeah I went to the Edge Hill open day the other week and really liked it. I'm actually from Ormskirk originally so know the town really well. Where else are you applying?

Hi! I looked at Cumbria but wasn't sure whether to apply there or not. Have you been to an open day? I'm still waiting for a reference so hoping to send my application off soon. X

Hey! Yeah I went to the open day and thought the course looked really good. The lecturers were lovely and I got a really nice vibe for it. I'm actually from Cumbria so that's a bonus for knowing my way around Carlisle but I thought the university was really nice! The lecturer for social work told me that the classes are fairly small and that you get to have a really nice bond with everyone - something that appealed to me. And I'm in the exact same situation at the moment, waiting for my reference to be done then sending it off! Good luck :smile: X

Good luck to you too! Yes my mum is from Ambleside so we often go up to the lakes. I might have another look at it. Sort of torn between there and UCLan. It's be nice to go to a place where you get to know everyone.

I was thinking of UCLan too but I think I prefer Cumbria, which is strange because I always thought that I'd wanna go somewhere completely different but I just loved the look of the university. Saying that, I haven't had a look around UCLan so not sure what its like. I'm just excited!

Yes I think it's more of a city uni and there are a lot more students which sort of outs me off. I'd like to be in the north west somewhere as I have a little boy and would like him to grow up near family. (I'm from Ormskirk in Lancashire). I know I'm excited too can't wait to get interviews out the way though haha. :biggrin:
