The BA (Hons) Special Educational Needs, Disability & Inclusion (SENDI) and Sociology at Lincoln Bishop University invites you to critically examine the social, cultural, and political forces that shape our understanding of disability and inclusion. This joint honours degree is for you if you are passionate about understanding societal divisions, advocating for equitable practices, and exploring the complexities of SENDI and sociological theory. You will develop a nuanced perspective on contested models of disability, challenging conventional norms and seeking innovative solutions. This programme provides a robust academic framework for those aspiring to become agents of change within educational and societal contexts.
You will study this undergraduate degree full-time on campus over three years, engaging with core sociological theories, research methodologies, and specific SENDI frameworks. Your learning journey will include exploring classical and contemporary sociological thought, mastering qualitative and quantitative research skills, and delving into categories of need within SENDI, supported by a placement in Year 1. The curriculum is designed to foster critical analysis, from examining race and religion in public sociology to understanding autism and complex needs. You will graduate with the analytical skills and informed perspective necessary for diverse career paths in education, social policy, and support work.
