Graduates of Education Studies and Special Educational Needs pursue careers in teaching, social services and the caring professions.  Some progress to take leadership roles in the field, for example becoming Special Educational Needs Coordinators in schools.  Others find this route through the degree has opened their eyes to other possibilities. Many work in schools and early years settings in roles other than teaching, sometimes with children with special needs and in challenging settings such as pupil referral units or special schools. Others go into local government, international development or charity work.         

The BA (Hons) Education Studies and Special Educational Needs degree also gives you a strong foundation for a range of other destinations in the public and private sectors, whether related to education or not.  This is particularly relevant where questions of promoting inclusivity and the ethical treatment of others are concerned.  

The skills and qualities you will develop - including communication, time management, personal responsibility, critical thinking, resilience and integrity – are valuable in careers outside of the education sector.  You will also develop the qualities necessary for postgraduate study in a range of subjects.
