Choosing the university that’s right for you is a big
decision. There’s a lot to think about, from where
to go and what to study, to working out your
finances and looking ahead to your future career.
I hope this prospectus will help you make the right choice
and show you all the many things that are great about
studying at the University of Hertfordshire. Even better,
come to one of our Open Days, and discover for yourself
our inspiring, cutting-edge facilities, our friendly and
supportive campus, our diverse student community and
the outstanding opportunities we offer.
Everything we do at Herts is about transforming lives.
Welcome from the Vice-Chancellor

You’ll have the chance to study abroad, go on work
placements to gain valuable professional experience, build
your skills and grow in confidence. Studying with us is a
life-changing experience and we take pride in knowing
you’ll leave us with the skills, knowledge and attributes to
make a real difference in the world.
Central to this is our focus on being a modern, business-
facing university. We work with innovative businesses,
public sector organisations and professional bodies
to help shape our courses, to make sure these give
you the practical skills and experience needed by
today’s employers. We know that getting a good job
is a key reason to study at university, and it’s certainly
a good reason to come to Herts - more than 96% of
our graduates are working or doing further study within
six months of leaving us and we have the highest
employment rate of graduates in the East of England
region.
I’m really proud of our vibrant, energetic campus, and we
are continually investing in our buildings, with our students
always in mind. In our £50 million cutting-edge Science
Building you’ll find high-tech labs and innovative, inspiring
learning spaces, while our Sports Village offers you some
of the best university sports and fitness facilities in the
country. We also have the largest clinical simulation centre
in the UK and industry-standard creative studios and
workshops.
If you’re worried about moving away from home, our
campus is the ideal place to help you find your feet and
become more independent. It’s safe, friendly and with our
brand new £120 million student accommodation complex
and extensive professional support services, you’ll be
living within a welcoming and supportive community.
I hope you’ll decide that the University of Hertfordshire
is right for you, and I look forward to welcoming you on
campus.

Social Work BSc (Hons)
Social Work
About the course
Social workers help people find solutions to
their problems and live more successfully in their
communities. Sometimes this includes helping them
confront and manage behaviours that put themselves
and others at risk. To succeed, social workers must
work not only with clients, but also with their clients’
families and friends, as well as other organisations
including the police, NHS and schools. This course
covers subjects such as law, partnership working,
assessment and interventions, social science, mental
health, disabilities, and families and children. One of
the course’s distinctive features is the chance to put
what you learn into practice through a series of work
placements.
What job can I get?

On graduation you’ll be eligible to register as a social
worker with the Health and Care Professions Council.
You’ll also be qualified to work in the wide range of
statutory, private and voluntary agencies that employ
social workers.
