Social work BA full time - timetable?

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to get an idea about timetables. The course is FT social work BA - I know this years haven’t been released yet but if anyone could share from previous years that would be so great. The university is Greenwich. I have really young children and a partner that works full time so trying to work out childcare arrangements

Didn’t go to Greenwich for social work but through placements I have met loads of other social work students from different universities. They are all structured very similar due to social work england registration requirements of course. The first year you usually have 3 modules each semester so they could double lectures on days but expect 3 days a week. All universities are known to release a couple timetables over the summer then amend them closer to start date. Second year you have 3/4 modules workshop of skills and 70 day placement. Which is tiring. Third year 100 day placement, dissertation, and another module. It is A LOT. The portfolio and reflective logs for placement tracking all your work, assignments dissertation you are very busy.

Yikes. Thank you so much!

I have 3 kids under 6 so it’s going to be a wild ride if I get accepted 🫠
