This course in Special Educational Needs & Disability Studies will help you advocate for disability rights. In the UK, over 16 million people are disabled. Graduates with skills in this area are needed in education, health, social work, local government, and business. We encourage you to focus on knowledge rather than just needs.

You will work with a supportive team of both disabled and non-disabled academics. They will help you build the skills, knowledge, and confidence to lead in this field. You’ll look at the historical, social, and cultural factors that shape how we view special educational needs and disability. Activities will help you understand academic theories better. You’ll see how these theories apply in real jobs. Alongside tutors with extensive experience, guest speakers and partner organizations will contribute to your learning. These include disabled-led groups, education providers, charities, and disability arts organizations.
