Special Educational Needs, Disability & Inclusion and Theology, Philosophy & Ethics

This course allows you to jointly study Special Educational Needs, Disability & Inclusion & Theology & Ethics, giving you a fully rounded experience of both subjects.

Throughout the study of Special Educational Needs, Disability and Inclusion (SENDI) you will find out about different categories of need including; cognition &
learning, social,emotional and mental health, sensory and communication needs. Modules cover the broad spectrum to focus upon specific and more complex needs. You will challenge your own beliefs and values, as well as those of others, and become an advocate for change.

Whether you describe yourself as agnostic, atheist or a firm believer, if you have a passionate interest in the ethical, political, philosophical and religious issues of our time, this course is perfect for you. Here at BGU we can look back on many years of experience in teaching Religious Studies, Philosophy and Theology. We designed this degree to bring the oldest of academic subjects into the present day – combining the richness of ancient tradition with the relevance and freshness of a 21st century subject.

Possible careers for SENDI graduates may include Primary or special school teaching, work as a SENDI Classroom Assistant, Youth Work, work in a Social Care Setting, or working for Private Sector Educational Providers.

Combining your study with Theology & Ethics opens up a variety of other career possibilities.
