Special Educational Needs, Disability and Inclusion and Sport (with Foundation Year) Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

The BA (Hons) Special Educational Needs, Disability and Inclusion (SENDI) and Sport joint programme at Lincoln Bishop University offers an exciting and unique opportunity to combine your passion for inclusive education with your interest in sport. You’ll study a balanced mix of modules from both disciplines, allowing you to develop a deep understanding of how social, psychological and physical factors influence individual development.

This dynamic degree explores the complexities of learning and development, focusing on both typical and atypical pathways. You’ll discover how sport and physical activity can play a vital role in supporting holistic wellbeing, and you’ll critically examine the sociological frameworks that can create inequalities. Throughout the course, you’ll be encouraged to challenge assumptions and explore innovative strategies for promoting inclusive practice in a range of settings.

By studying these two complementary subjects together, you’ll open up a wide range of career opportunities. Whether you’re interested in teaching, health and sport environments, sport development, adventure education, physical education, health and fitness coaching, the Youth Service, social work, or mental health services supporting those with additional needs, this joint degree will equip you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to make a real difference.

If you’re passionate about inclusion and the power of sport to transform lives, this programme will help you turn your interests into a rewarding and impactful career.
