Special Educational Needs and Disability

Overview

Completion of the degree leads to development of knowledge and skills across a range of special educational needs and disabilities, promoting competence and confidence in reflective practice, decision making in complex situations and completing independent research. By following this programme, you will develop a systematic understanding of knowledge related to SEND theory and practice.

This Special Educational Needs and Disability programme at Bishop Grosseteste University  is designed to develop your in-depth knowledge, understanding and skills in relation to current and changing SEND practice. 

The modules will provide you with opportunities to investigate different social and educational contexts, demonstrating the acquisition of advanced knowledge and understanding of key issues relating to SEND. 

Careers & Further Study

Following the introduction of the SEND Code of Practice, there are now significantly more organisations that require professionals working, supporting children, and young adults with SEND to have expertise in this area. 

As this has raised the profile of working with children and young adults with SEND, many other organisations are increasingly requiring staff in teaching roles to have specialist knowledge in this area, such as those in the leisure industry and sporting organisations. By completing the MA in SEND, you will be better positioned to apply for such posts, demonstrating a range of skills which will support learners with SEND in various settings.
