About this course
**Why choose this course?**
Are you interested in supporting the mental health, wellbeing and inclusion of children and young people with additional needs from 0 to 25 years?
Are you already working or hoping to work in the special educational needs sector? Are you looking for a course that allows you work-life balance while you study? This degree enables you to combine academic study with work-based learning, develop your practice and become part of a strong network.
During the course, you will need to be working or volunteering for at least 16 hours per week within an early years setting, school, college, alternative provision, charity sector or local government. It is also relevant to those working in equality, diversity, and inclusion roles within charities, local authority or organisations that support or advocate for learning and development.
If you are not currently working in the sector, we can provide you with a suitable placement.
The course covers equality, diversity and inclusion, mental health, and wellbeing. You will explore the requirements of the Special Educational Need and Disability (SEND) Code of Practice and consider the voice, needs and rights of the child or young person.
You'll study developmental theories, systems to support learning, legislative frameworks that govern practice, multi-professional perspectives and working with families and carers. You will also explore current issues such as sustainability.
You'll develop reflective skills to enable you to consider how to improve practice. In your final year, you will collaborate with stakeholders on a small research project based around your own area of interest.
You will study one day a week at our Kingston Hill campus.

Education
What are graduates doing after six months?
This is what graduates told us they were doing (and earning), shortly after completing their course. We've crunched the numbers to show you if these immediate prospects are high, medium or low, compared to those studying this subject/s at other universities.
Top job areas of graduates
When you look at employment stats, bear in mind that a lot of students are already working in education when they take this type of course and are studying to help their career development. This means they already have jobs when they start their course, and a lot of graduates continue to study, whilst working, when they complete their courses. If your course is focused on nursery or early years education, a lot of these graduates go into nursery work or classroom or education assistant jobs; these jobs are not currently classed as 'graduate level' in the stats (although they may well be in the future as classifications catch up with changes in the way we work), and many graduates who enter these roles say that a degree was necessary.
What about your long term prospects?
Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.
