  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MA/PGDip/PGCert 4 years part-time (maximum)

Course Description

This course is designed for a wide range of people interested in special and inclusive education, such as those who currently, or are wanting to, have a role that is directly concerned with special and inclusive education in an education setting or education policy or research contexts. These education settings range from early years to higher education and all sectors in between and beyond formal education. Therefore, the course is designed to provide different modes and routes that are suited to the breadth of potential students who have a range of expertise and experience. As such it has an approach to the modules which can then be applied locally and in different contexts.

This part time MA route has been structured to allow you to join the MA at different stages based on your accredited prior learning (APL). Within the part time route three modules are offered for offsite teaching, which are designed for groups of employees to undertake level 7 study onsite in the school, college or other educational setting where they are employed, under the guidance of the university tutor. To achieve an MA Special and Inclusive Education at least 90 credits of your 180 credits must include the Perspectives on Inclusive Education module and your dissertation subject must relate to special and inclusive education.
