The BA (Hons) Primary and SEND Education allows you to specialise in supporting pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities within a mainstream school, special school, or in an alternative provision.

 

You'll receive the same training and skills as our other teacher training courses, but with a focus which ensures you have the opportunity to develop further strategies for working with pupils with special needs such as autistic spectrum conditions, learning difficulties, and complex learning needs and disabilities.

 

The course includes specific SEND modules alongside opportunities to undertake placements in special schools, SEND units and/or resourced provision, where you'll gain hands-on experience and prepare yourself for a successful career in teaching.

 

This SEND course is taught via lectures, seminars, group work, computer-based learning and independent learning.

 

In-school training is an important part of this course. During that time, you will benefit from practical learning and be supported by school-based trainers, University tutors and your peers.

 

Your progress will be assessed with written assignments, posters, presentations and computer-based assessments (including podcasts and vodcasts). Throughout the degree you'll have one-to-one support from academic staff.
