An essential guide for all students studying for a Master's degree in social work, whether they have come directly from their undergraduate studies or after a period of employment.
This book focuses specifically on the skills needed to study social work at Master's level, helping students get to grips with the academic rigour required at this higher level of study. This includes research skills, writing style, tone, the emphasis on self-reflection and the need to communicate in both academic and professional contexts. Pedagogical features and activities provide opportunities to explore, analyse and reflect on what has been learnt. The book will help cultivate a social practice approach to writing, raise awareness of the choices available, and aid understanding so that readers can produce the types of discourse required at Master’s level in social work.
This is Book 16 in the Critical Study Skills Series. See all Critical Study Skills books here.
