Bachelor in Special and Inclusive Education

Tuition fees are 12,000 EUR per year.

Special and inclusive education examines how learners with diverse needs engage with curricula, how policies shape access, and which strategies enable participation for children and young people with disabilities or learning differences. This four-year BSc (Honours) situates those questions within national and international research, legislation and practice.

The programme suits applicants who have completed secondary education, are interested in supporting learners with special educational needs, and wish to develop both theoretical insight and practical skills. You will study modules on disability theory, inclusive pedagogy, relevant law, and health considerations for school-aged learners, while refining academic, IT and communication abilities.

At Atlantic Technological University, the course embeds work placements each year, allowing you to apply theory in real settings and build workplace competence. Graduates are prepared for roles such as Special Needs Assistant or inclusive support staff and can progress to Level 9 postgraduate study.
