Why choose this course? The BA (Hons) Education programme follows two routes – both the BA (Hons) Education (Additional Learning Needs/Special Educational Needs) and BA (Hons) Education (Counselling Skills and Psychology) are undergraduate programmes for those seeking a career supporting learners across the sectors in educational settings, such as mainstream schools, resource provision units, special schools, post-compulsory provision or within the local authority support services. The courses provide the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge, skills and work experience required for immediate transfer to the workplace, or to progress into teaching via a Primary Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) or Post-compulsory qualification (PcET). Additional career options include employment in informal education settings or progression to further study.

The interdisciplinary approach includes the sociological, historical, psychological, philosophical and contemporary aspects of education. You can also choose to study this course as a foundation year BA (Hons) Education (Additional Learning Needs/Special Education Needs) (4 years including foundation year) UCAS Code: 1X53
