Clearing 2025: why study a Social Work or Community Work degree?
“I come from humble beginnings and always wanted to give back to the community.” Our former student, Nahim, describes how the University of East London’s courses helped him land a youth and community work job.
Nahim was awarded an OBE for his community social work with young people in Tower Hamlets. Our social work and community work graduates give back to their communities and make an impact in the world.
