MSc Deaf Education

University of Manchester

Successful completion of our PGDip/MSc Deaf Education course will give you the mandatory qualification to work as a Teacher of the Deaf. The MSc route will also support the development of research skills that can be applied to this field. Rapid developments in audiology and our understanding of language, communication and educational practice make teaching and learning for deaf children an exciting area of study. The course uses an evidence-based approach to meeting the diverse needs of deaf children and places a strong emphasis on the translation of theory to practice. Our course has National College of Teaching and Learning (NCTL) approval, meeting the requirements of the mandatory qualification. Most graduating students go on to teach and support deaf children in specialist teaching roles both in the UK and overseas, although there are also opportunities to continue academic research in this area.
