Key Course Facts

Course Description

Develop expertise in inclusive education at a time of significant educational reform.

  • Develop knowledge and skills in inclusive education and SEN for expert practitioners.
  • Explore the impact of new legislation and policy at a local and national level.
  • Develop your professional practice as a leader within education.

The Master's in Inclusive Education focuses on the issues that concern the inclusion of learners. These include the philosophical, ethical, and legal aspects that can impact the provision of education in different settings.

The concept of inclusion is challenging and wide-ranging, and you'll be given the opportunity to engage critically with the policy and practice of inclusive education, as well as opportunities to develop your knowledge in specialist areas of SEN.

The MA is also ideal for SENCos who have completed the National Award for SENCo and wish to continue their studies. Accredited Prior Learning (APL) is available.

Assessment takes a range of formats, including a range of written assignments, for example, critical reviews of literature, reflective accounts, presentations, and reflective commentaries. You'll also complete a final Dissertation.

You'll have completed your undergraduate degree in an education related field, ideally with some links to inclusive education. You may be working in an educational setting, or you may be continuing with your studies having just completed your undergraduate degree. You should be interested in inclusion, particularly for learners with SEN, and you should be able to demonstrate a strong drive to improve outcomes for all learners.

Students who have completed the National Award for SENCo or the Postgraduate Certificate in Specific Learning Difficulties / Dyslexia are able to accredit their prior learning (APL) towards the MA Inclusive Education.

If English is not your first language, you'll need to provide evidence of proficiency in the English language. The Admissions team assesses applications individually, but for postgraduate courses we're looking for an IELTS score of between 6.0-7.0 with a minimum of 5.5 in each component (Writing, Listening, Reading and Speaking).
