Master of Arts - Education - Inclusion and Special Educational Needs and Disability

The MA Education offers an in-depth exploration of education’s role in society, alongside the theories, policies and practices that shape it. The programme provides flexible study options, allowing students to complete a broad-based master’s degree or specialise in a particular area.

It supports professional development across early years, schools, further and higher education, and community learning. Teaching is informed by current developments in the field and delivered by an experienced academic team, preparing graduates for advanced professional, leadership and management roles.

This pathway enables students to develop a contemporary understanding of the dilemmas and challenges associated with special education, disability, impairment and inclusion. It also examines the lived experiences of individuals with additional needs. The programme encourages reflection on inclusive and special educational practices through discussion and debate, while fostering critical analysis of material related to disability, inclusion and special education. Engagement with texts in a seminar context further deepens awareness of key issues in the field.
