Social Work

Graduates of the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) tertiary degree will be eligible to apply to be registered as a social worker with regulatory bodies in Ireland and internationally. This full-time four-year undergraduate degree integrates theory and practice through further education, university and agency-based learning. Successful completion of this tertiary degree leads to an academic qualification (BSW) and it is approved by the Health and Social Care Professional Council (CORU) as a social work training course. Successful graduates can use their qualification to apply to CORU to be placed on the register of social workers. In Ireland, all social workers need to be registered to practise.
