BA (Hons) Psychology and Special Educational Needs, Disability & Inclusion with Foundation Year

... United Kingdom
... Bishop Grosseteste University

Course Overview

Do you ever wonder why is it we behave as we do? How do gangs, teams, and friendship groups form? Do you wonder if smiling does make you feel more positive? Do you often ask more critical questions about life and who we are?

Psychology has a science base yet includes a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, statistics, and computer-based skills. As well as classic psychological theories and research, on this undergraduate degree, you’ll debate social issues, study specific mental processes, such as memory, language, and attention, and broader issues and theories – historical and contemporary. As well as applying psychological knowledge to various subjects, you will develop your skills in problem-solving, data analysis, prediction, and reasoning, focusing on real-world applications.

Here at BGU in Lincoln, we ensure you have close support and contact with your tutors, and with small group sizes, you’ll always get the help and feedback you need on your course. We also know how important it is to experience a natural working environment, so through work placements and other projects, you’ll be equipped for whichever career path you choose after your degree. With research-informed teaching and research-active staff, you’ll receive scientific training and gain an in-depth understanding of the subject's nature while applying your knowledge and theory to real life.

This course equips you with a critical understanding of sociological, psychological, and philosophical values that shape Special Educational Needs, Disability, and Inclusion (SEND). This degree will explore policy and practice in different educational, cultural, and social settings, promoting appreciation for inclusive, relevant, and ever-changing teaching strategies to meet diverse learning needs.

The program challenges how we see, interpret and respond to needs in practice, seeking solutions and opportunities to become advocates for change. You will develop knowledge and understanding of different categories of conditions and acquire skills in meeting needs through examining theory and engaging in 1] based placements. The SENDI program is structured to develop subject-specific confidence and graduate attributes through the study of broad themes initially to more specialized SENDI topics.
