Our MA in Inclusive Education invites you to explore what it truly means to create inclusive learning environments across diverse educational contexts. You’ll engage with critical perspectives on marginalisation, disability, race, culture, and difference, drawing on fields such as critical pedagogy, disability studies, and critical race theory.
Grounded in disciplines including sociology, psychology, education, philosophy, and social policy, the course encourages you to reflect on your own beliefs and explore how theory and practice overlap in shaping inclusive approaches. You’ll examine how global pressures, power, agency, inequality, and sustainability influence educational experiences and opportunities.
Children’s rights, identity, empowerment, and social justice are central themes throughout the programme. You’ll also develop a critical understanding of research methodologies and carry out your own inquiry, supported by shared learning with students from across our education masters programmes.
You’ll be part of a vibrant and supportive academic community, with access to university-wide services and dedicated programme support, including a personal tutor who will guide you throughout your studies.
We offer both full-time and part-time study options. The full-time route is ideal for those taking time out to focus on their studies, while the part-time pathway is designed to fit around professional commitments, allowing you to apply your learning directly to your current role.

Our MA Inclusive Education course aims to progress your career in education and enhance your academic skills for further research ventures.
Our graduates have used their MA in Inclusive Education to help further careers, either in their current sector, or to make an informed leap into a different role or field of education. Whilst this programme does not qualify you to teach, many of our students have gone into management and advisory positions related to inclusion and diversity in schools and other educational settings. Some have developed specialisms in areas of special educational needs, such as autism or dyslexia.
Some of our graduates take on roles in nurseries, schools, and colleges, others engage with the wider educational sector. Many of our alumni have attained promotions, such as leadership roles and attribute this success and their confidence in their new roles to their master’s study. Other graduates have gone on to secure posts in higher education as university lecturers, teacher educators and academic support staff. Some of our students on the full-time route progress to train as teachers. International students from our full-time route have gone on to work in their local or national departments of education and use their learning to contribute to the developmental of education systems in their own country.
Our graduates have also used our courses to help further careers, either in their current sector, or to make an informed move into a different role or field of education. Many students who complete our courses intend to study at PhD level. If you’re considering pursuing a research degree (such as an MPhil, PhD or EdD) in education, this masters course is a good foundation towards that ambition. Each year, several of our current and former students win scholarships for further study or have articles published. Whatever your aspirations are, as a student at Manchester Met, you have access to our Careers Advice Service.
