Exceptional resources
The School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research is home to world experts across the social sciences. Our Social Work students make use of the excellent resources in the Drill Hall Library and can also order books and journals from the Templeman Library at our Canterbury campus.
If you are studying Social Work, you also take part in role-play sessions with volunteer service users in our purpose-built consultation rooms. These give you experience of how real-life interviews may develop. Your tutor is able to observe you discreetly, giving you feedback and support to help you to acquire the skills and expertise you need as a professional social worker.

Laboratory skills for pharmacists
Gaining practical skills in prescribing is essential for students studying pharmacy. At the Medway School of Pharmacy, we have a range of outstanding facilities to ensure you gain the skills you need. Our industry-standard laboratories, training dispensary and mock hospital ward help you to become familiar with working in a professional environment. You also practice procedures such as inserting a drip, taking blood and examining patient responses to medication on SimMan (a patient simulator).
Practical experience is an integral part of our Pharmacy course
