MA Special and Inclusive Education (Specific Learning Difficulties)

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year - 5 years

Masters Degree Description

At the heart of this course is a belief that literacy is a gateway to opportunity, yet for many learners with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs), this gateway can feel frustratingly inaccessible. In this course, you will engage with cutting-edge research and evidence-informed practice to better understand the needs of neurodiverse learners, and how to empower them through inclusive, responsive teaching. Input from a wide range of academic and professional experts ensures the programme remains relevant to real-world educational settings.

Entry Requirements

A minimum of a lower second-class Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Applicants will also normally have some related professional experience.
