Social work

Does anyone apply to Lancaster uni or Nottingham for social work?
Hi there!

While I'm not sure how many students apply to Lancaster University for social work, the Social Work course has been ranked highly for 2025: 1st by The Complete University Guide, 1st by The Time and Sunday Times Good University Guide and 2nd by The Guardian University Guide. The course is accredited by Social Work England and includes hands-on experience within different organisations (local authorities, Barnardo's, Age Concern).

I've attached the Lancaster University page for BA Hons Social Work for further detail: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/social-work-ba-hons-l500/2025/#overview

And this is for the Uni Guide, which includes some statistics from the National Student Survey you may be interested in: https://www.theuniguide.co.uk/lancaster-university-l14/courses/social-work-ba-hons-2025-ad919f65a3c6

Finally, this is to chat with students/unibuddy, which you can filter for Social Work: https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/study/chat/

Hope this helped, if you have any other questions feel free to reach out!
