Thank you so much favour for this insight, now I'm really glad to be a social work student, I didn't know how good this course was until I started doing my own research and now I'm in my final year in University of Benin I've seen reasons to do my masters degree outside Nigeria or even study social work if I've the opportunity to school somewhere else. I pray it works for good because I've grown to love this profession..

Child protection has the highest pay and also the most stressful. If you need a better pay, you consider working as an agency worker if you are permanent, you can survive but with the rise of the cost of living, it’s not much but that’s depends on your situation as well.

Those who are asking from outside the country, please social work in the U.K. is different from social work in the U.K. please it is not about improving people’s lives. I don’t know how to explain it, university will only prepare you 20%. Social work is the most frustrating job in the U.K. Don’t consider it if you want peace of mind.

You are not late for MSC , but most schools will prefer if u have 2.1 in ur first degree, also they will prefer if u have relevant experience or if u studied something relevant to social work . The final deadline June 2022 . Most applications are done via UCAS. go online and check UCAS ( Note: MSC social work is 2years in most universities)

Hello! Thanks very much for your meaningful video. I have a small question about interview, could you please share me your opinion? That is, should I mention my past mental health problems in university's social work interview? I feel that having this experience will give me a better understanding of other clients with mental health, but I am equally concerned that it will affect the university's view of me.

Hi, As long as you relate the experience to your aspirations to study and practice social work, it’s okay. I’ll advise that you don’t dwell on the negatives and don’t create the impression that it will have negative impact on your studies or future practice. Since you said it’s past MH problems, ensure you are able to let them know it’s in the past and it won’t affect your studies. Talk about your victories; how you managed it, how it probably made you resilient (if it did) cos in social work you need to be resilient. Don’t worry, they won’t judge you for having MH condition in the PAST as long as you don’t give them the impression that it might affect you during your studies . You can use it well to your advantage during the interview. All the best xx

Social Work is a profession, whereas health and social care is an umbrella that covers different health related and social professions. This is probably the best way I can differentiate them.
