I'm doing social work degree at university this is our fact sheet it will give you some idea of what may be needed
www.uclan.ac.uk/courses/factsheets/health/socwork/5401.pdf
this is the hand book you'll be able to see what the work load is like,

every university is different and you will have to see what university you want to go to.
good luck

You will want to do well in your studies and get a good liberal arts education. Also consider volunteering or getting work in human service related jobs (e.g. a camp, day care, etc.) these will also help you get into a good program.
