Course Summary

Programme overview

Our education master's degrees give you the opportunity to design a tailored programme of study that suits your learning and professional needs. You will be able to specialise and receive an award in a particular disciplinary area.

This programme focuses on inclusive practice. It is intended for teachers and other professionals working with students who are experiencing barriers to learning and participation or other special educational needs, whether in mainstream schools, special schools/units, colleges or early years settings.

It is designed to help you develop your knowledge, understanding and critical skills in analysing and evaluating current research, theory and practice. The programme will provide you with opportunities to explore a range of areas, such as international developments in special/inclusive education, how to work with and involve parents and children, and the school's role in promoting inclusion. You will also look at a range of topics that arouse controversy and debate in the area of special needs.

The Inclusive Education pathway is designed for professionals with some experience, either in paid employment or as a volunteer.

Careers

We offer academic and personal development opportunities to equip you for the intellectual, social and personal challenges you will encounter during your career. Our overarching goal is to enable our education graduates to display the following characteristics:

equipped to demonstrate impact, excellence and distinctiveness in their chosen field
visionary, imaginative, innovative, reflective and creative
high ideals and values, including a strong sense of social justice
highly employable throughout the world
adaptable, with the potential to be a leader in work and in the community.

Modules

The aim of unit is to critically review some of the controversial issues and perspectives in key areas within special and inclusive education. The content of the unit, therefore, covers issues ranging from perspectives against 'full' inclusion, inclusion and raising standards, inclusion and educational support, inclusion and educational legislation, inclusion and educational practice, inclusion and 'marginalised groups', inclusion and identification/assessment, intervention and educational placement of range of pupils with special educational needs [such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia and emotional, behavioural and social difficulties (EBSD)]. The common theme that interrelates each topic that will be covered in the unit is that they all address recent theory, practice and research outcomes that shed a light on complex issues and as a result challenge the way in which practitioners/professionals, service providers, researchers and academics think and perceive such issues.
