Overview

While it is expected that the majority of credits will have been gained from modules attended at the Professional Social Work Practice , offered by University of Brighton , it is also recognised that some applicants may have undertaken credit bearing work elsewhere. In view of this, up to 90 academic credits may be transferred in from work completed at other institutions, providing it meets with the University of Brighton’s assessment and examinations regulations and the necessary course specifications.
