Anyone know what it is? I'm 20 years old and hoping to do Social Work at uni .
I think average MA Student age is a little higher (or they certainly looked older when they conbined us with the MA's for the odd sesh), on my BA course I would say the average age was about 30 - small numbers in their late teens/very early 20's and odd few in their 50's - don't think there was anyone in their 60's.
Hi
On my degree for social work the ages vary i think the youngest is aroudn 20ish and there is a couple incliding me who are in there 40's
i've just turned 21 - most my class are 35+
Important to get some real life experience prior to entering social work. I think that 30 is a far better age.
Well, I was 30-ish and I'm rubbish.
I was older..and I already had "Aquired Cynicism Disorder," so it saved me a few years!!
Thats "A.C.D."..see?
Well my age hasn't stopped me getting invited to assessments, so it's all good! :D
Hi,
I was 18 when I started on my social work degree. I'm now 21 and due to graduate this summer. I'd say at least half of my course are in their 20's/30's although there are some older. Don't let people put you off by saying you need more life experience-just because you're young does not mean you have not faced your own challenges and experience - and sometimes it can be an advantage to be a bit younger.
Good luck with everything :)
