Course Summary

The MA Special and Inclusive Education programme at Queen Margaret University is aimed at professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge of inclusive education and its role in society. Through an interdisciplinary lens you will explore inclusive education and the role it plays in emancipation, liberation, and true democracy.

You will explore the structural inequalities in both society and education, and their impact on educational outcomes. In doing so, you will learn ways to address these inequalities in different contexts to make education inclusive. This programme will benefit professionals working with individuals with complex learning needs to ensure best practice is followed to provide these learners with an inclusive educational experience.

The Master’s programmes are delivered entirely online and can be studied from anywhere in the world, with no need to ever attend campus. They have been carefully designed to fit around the busy schedules of working professionals, ensuring that work and family commitments need not be reasons to put your ambitions on hold. You can study whilst continuing in your current role and immediately apply what you learn to your professional context.
