The
postgraduate degrees aim to provide an opportunity for human service and
welfare professionals to enhance and develop their professional skills and
knowledge and to make links between practice in the field and more academic
knowledge and theory.
The degrees aim to provide for the needs of managers and policy developers as
well as for social workers or others involved in direct work with clients. They
also aim to cater for human service professionals who work as middle managers
and as supervisors.
