We’ll work with you to identify your own interests in the field of inclusion and special education – supporting you to work towards your own personal career goals.
Our education courses are ranked in in the top 20 in the UK for graduate prospects (on track) by the Complete University Guide 2025.
You’ll explore a range of inclusion and special educational needs issues, including specific profiles like ASD, attachment, ADHD, mental health and dyslexia. You’ll also develop your own personal values and philosophies, while debating the opportunities and challenges for inclusion.
Lectures are interactive with plenty of discussion – which is often built upon group tasks, case studies and scenarios. You’ll be encouraged to develop your own perspective on inclusion and special educational needs, as well as broader educational issues linked to social justice and sustainability.
You’ll make links between theory and practice both within the taught content and assignments, and while you’re on placement.
