r/Socialworkuk

I'm a year 13 student. Im doing two A levels, and one AS level , and also an EPQ. I know I want to be a social worker, so obviously a social work degree is the best choice. But I'm struggling with options. Firstly, do I apply normally, or for a foundation year? I mean I really don't wanna do one but if it gets me into uni I don't mind.

Secondly, if I don't get into any, for clearing do I reapply for the same courses, or foundation ones?

And MOST IMPORTANTLY. What unis are even good for social work? There's barely any (I live in London and can only commute). Rn I have goldsmiths, Greenwich, Kingston and lsbu on my potential list.

Someone please help I'm so so lost rn!!
