B.Ed. Special Education

This degree programme prepares you to teach and support learners with disabilities or learning difficulties. It is based in the Faculty of Applied Behavioural Sciences in Education at the University of Education, Winneba, and focuses on making education accessible to all.

What special education involves

Programmes of this kind usually cover how to identify and support learners with physical, sensory, intellectual, and emotional challenges. You learn inclusive teaching strategies, behaviour management, and how to adapt lessons and assessments to different needs. The goal is to help every child participate in education as fully as possible.

Who this programme suits

If you are patient, observant, and interested in working with people who are often left out of mainstream education, this field could be a good fit. You will build skills in communicating with learners, families, and other professionals, and learn how to create supportive learning environments.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other education degrees. That gives you a realistic chance if you have typical WASSCE grades, but you still need to meet the university's subject requirements. Check the official admissions list to see whether your qualifications match.
