Special and Inclusive Education MA

University of Nottingham

How can we best support learners who are struggling with learning? What are the complexities of inclusive education in a rapidly changing world? What are the rights of children to be included in schools? How do we address the current barriers to inclusivity?Throughout the course, you’ll explore the educational needs of children considered to be neurodivergent who are identified with labels including learning difficulties, intellectual impairment, physical and sensory disabilities, autism and SEBD/ADHD. You’ll critically analyse contemporary debates, theory, and research in the field to help you develop effective approaches and structures for supporting your pupils. You'll learn how to work collaboratively with teachers, parents/carers and different agencies, enabling you to make a significant impact on the lives of children.This programme is ideal for graduates, teachers, or other professionals who are interested in enhancing their knowledge and skills in special and inclusive education. If you have completed the National Award SEN Coordination, you can select modules from this programme to advance to a full MA qualification.
