The BA Inclusive Education Degree is aimed at students that have completed the Inclusive Education Foundation Degree.
The programme is designed for students working as Teaching Assistants/LSAs or other personnel working or volunteering with other learning environments. This worked based learning degree aims to relate real-world situations to learning as well as the links between theory, policy, and practice.
The BA Inclusive Education is not only delivered at the three campuses, it is also delivered in wider community settings such as Monkton Priory School in Pembrokeshire.
The programme has a strong ethos of supporting students in collaborative learning and developing opportunities to engage in a wider learning community through professional dialogue.
Students will have the opportunity to present their work in either Welsh or English.
