About the course
The course is unique in the UK in offering a Masters-level award specifically in residential child care. It has been developed to support the development of direct practice and leadership in the residential child care sector in Scotland and beyond.
Consensus is growing that residential child care practice is complex, challenging and requires requisite knowledge, skills and capacities of the workforce. If children and young people are to have positive care experiences which improve their life chances, then those who care for them, and those who support those who care for them, must be supported in developing and maintaining that knowledge.
Entry Requirements
Degree (minimum 360 SCQF credit points) or equivalent qualifications and experience.
Applicants with HNC/SVQ3/SVQ4 qualifications will be asked to provide a supporting written assignment.
Those with professional or academic qualifications other than social work will be considered.
Applicants must be working full time in residential child care or a closely related area, as all of the coursework requires students to apply their learning to their practice and the practices in their employing organisation.
