This course reflects the many changes within the education sector, including a deepening awareness of the need to better prepare practitioners to support SEND and children’s mental health. You will consider the range of issues and perspectives involved when working with children and young people in education and wider settings, and particularly those with a range of diverse needs. Exploring policy, theory and practice, you will consider the challenges to inclusive approaches to education, as well as wider educational theory relating to social justice. Our courses provide you with an understanding of education from a sociological and philosophical perspective, providing you with the skills and knowledge to continue into a range of career opportunities, including social work, working in early years and teacher training in a number of settings. Other career opportunities might include working in further education, charities, hospitals and professional services in roles such as outreach or education coordinators.
