Special and Inclusive Education Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

BA (Hons) Special and Inclusive Education prepares you to be a forward-thinking, leaderful professional, with expertise in creating equitable learning pathways and opportunities for diverse learning profiles.

Our three-year programme has been created in collaboration with sector leaders, including CEOs of mainstream and special schools, specialist Local Authority officers, and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) therapists, helping to inspire positive change in inclusive practice. This course is designed to create graduates who are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity for all individuals.

The course combines core education theory with a deep dive into specialist SEND topics. You’ll build essential academic and professional skills, learning about child development, behaviour, and inclusive practices. Throughout your degree, you’ll tailor your learning to your interests through specialist modules and hands-on placements in real-world settings. In your final year, you’ll complete an independent project focused on an area you’re passionate about.
