BA (Hons) Special Educational Needs, Disability, Inclusion and Childhood and Family Studies (Top-up - Level 6 entry)

If you have an interest in childhood, families, special needs, disability and/or inclusion and its systems then this course will develop your skills and knowledge required for a range of careers working with children, their families and the services that support them, in both education and social contexts. Students will also be able to identify and understand the challenges faced when trying to adopt an inclusive approach to all aspects of life, and how they can meet and address these challenges in a positive way as members of a diverse global society.

An international perspective is taken to the degree and students will also have the opportunity to learn about how other countries support children and their families and develop inclusive practice.

Whether you are new to this area or you have experience and you are looking for career development then this course will suit you.

We offer our course, BA (Hons) Special Educational Needs, Disability, Inclusion, Childhood, and Family Studies PART-TIME which includes day time sessions. However if you would like to study more flexibly, for example of an evening, we offer part time Foundation Degrees in Early Years Services or Supporting Children in Primary Education at our college partners. After completing your part time Foundation degree you can then top up to a final year of a part- time BA degree course in order to gain a full honours degree.

This degree sits within an exciting range of Childhood and Family Studies courses we offer within the Institute of Education.
