Course Overview

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.
