Molly -Second year, Special Education Needs & Disability Studies; “In our first year we did a lot of work on wellbeing and health, with a particular focus on mental health. We also touched on psychology and the way people learn. Now we’re learning social theories and how society thinks about different disabilities and their needs. In the third year we’ll do our dissertations and pick our focus based on where we want to go after the degree. Throughout the course there are opportunities for work placements to gain practical skills.” 1st Year Engaging with Learning Introduction to psychology Introduction to Disability Studies Health and Wellbeing SEN Concepts and Contexts 2nd Year Comparative and International Perspectives in SEN and Disability Disability and Social Theory Developing inclusive education Research Methods Interprofessional practice: safeguarding Placement 3rd Year Dissertation Critical Issues in Disability and Care Professional contexts: the role of practitioners Understanding and managing specific learning disabilities Mental health, lifelong conditions and young people
