Course summary

Our BA (Hons) Special Educational Needs, Disability and Inclusion (SENDI) and Sociology joint degree programme challenges norms and assumptions surrounding context and categorisation of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The programme provides you with the opportunity to engage in study that offers a balanced range of modules from both disciplines and allows for the interconnections in concepts to be explored.

In this course, you'll explore social, cultural and political landscapes, and gain an in depth and nuanced understanding of contested models of disability, within the context of inclusion and diversity. This joint programme challenges how we see, interpret and respond to needs in society, and practice, seeking solutions and opportunities to become advocates for change. You'll develop knowledge and understanding of social divisions through examining theory and engaging in research-based placements. Social research methods are integrated across the degree as key transferable skills for an array of career trajectories in public, private and third-sector settings.

By undertaking a joint programme, you can develop in-depth knowledge and understanding which reflects your passion and interests in the chosen subjects. The synergy between these two disciplines in this joint honours degree offers many opportunities to question and examine competing social and cultural norms expanding your knowledge and understanding of current complexities across society. At the end of the course, you'll be well placed to explore a variety of career options including education, social policy development, support work, other related roles. You'll be able to contribute to society through advocacy for both yourself and the needs of others, using informed knowledge and understanding in judgements and actions.
