SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS

The Special Educational Needs course will help you advocate for disability rights and equality in your career. Over 16 million disabled people live in the UK. Graduates skilled in special educational needs and disability are in demand. They are needed in education, health, social work, and business. This degree values the contributions of disabled people and encourages you to focus on knowledge instead of just needs.

A supportive team of both disabled and non-disabled academics will help you gain skills, knowledge, and confidence to lead in this field. You will learn about the historical, social, and cultural factors that shape our views on special educational needs and disability. Activities will enhance your grasp of academic theories. They will also demonstrate how to use this knowledge in real-world situations. The course benefits from the tutors’ strong professional backgrounds. It also includes insights from guest speakers and partner organisations. These include disabled-led groups, education and care providers, charities, and disability arts organisations.

Liverpool Hope’s Special Educational Needs course is unique. It is led by the Centre for Culture and Disability Studies. This centre is an internationally recognised leader in disability studies research and the only UK research centre focused on disability and culture.

You can also study Special Educational Needs via a single honours degree with the course.

CONTEMPORARY CRAFT BA (HONS)

Contemporary Craft is an exciting major focused on hands-on design and making. We aim to build a supportive community where emerging makers and designers can reach their creative potential. This leads to specialised craft works, innovative projects, and new career paths.

Liverpool Hope University offers specialized facilities in metal, ceramics, textiles, and digital design. With dedicated tutoring and technical support, it is an inspiring place to study. You’ll explore materials and share ideas and goals. Masterclasses, lectures, and group seminars will explore key themes. These include the joy of making, materiality, sustainability, personal direction, collaboration, and craft identities.

We emphasize professional practice and employability. You'll work on live projects with support from university partners in Liverpool and the North West. You'll gain work experience and might even have a placement year.

A Contemporary Craft graduate can explore many careers. They might become a craft or design practitioner, a community worker, or a creative producer. They can also teach or engage in postgraduate research.
