Course Overview

This intellectually challenging and thought-provoking course offers a hugely rewarding undergraduate experience at the University of East London.

It opens up the world of Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and offers you the chance to enter the world of work confidently. We'll equip you for various careers, helping to bring about a more inclusive society.

Our course takes you on a fascinating journey through this complex area. You'll learn about every aspect of the subject in line with government policy, including autism, speech, language and communication, challenging behaviour, disabilities, dyslexia, therapeutic teaching and learning, and alternative educational provisions.

You'll develop a reflective approach to special education and critical thinking skills that are transferable to the workplace. 

Students on this course come from all over the country because its content is so comprehensive. Many already work with children with SEND.

We'll allow you to bring your passion and experience to the course. We emphasize sharing and discussing personal experiences to enrich our teaching.
