The MA Special and Inclusive Education will develop knowledge of special and inclusive education. Students will be introduced to world-leading theory and research and consider how it links to policy and practice. The MA will appeal to those looking to develop their professional practice or progress to further study about disability, inclusive education, and/or educational policy. The MA also has two specialist routes in Autism and Specific Learning Difficulties.

Students will gain a comprehensive and critical understanding of theory and research relevant to special and inclusive education including subject-specific knowledge; intellectual, academic and research skills; and practical and transferrable skills. Through a variety of taught sessions, independent activities and group/individual assessments, students on the programme will graduate with a broad range of knowledge, interpersonal contacts, and skills preparing them to continue work in the field of inclusive education. Anyone interested in either of the two specialist routes should see our Special and Inclusive Education (Autism) MA or Special and Inclusive Education (Specific Learning Difficulties) MA pages.

Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits. Upon successful completion of 180 credits, you will be awarded a MA in Special and Inclusive Education.

The programme consists of two compulsory modules (60 credits), plus two optional modules (30 credits each). Students can then choose to complete either a dissertation (60 credits) or alternatively a report (30 credits), plus one optional module in the area of special and inclusive education (30 credits).
