Study Details: 1 Year Full-time 3 Years Part-time
As contemporary societies become more heterogeneous, and as inclusive education reforms gain currency across the world, educational systems are being challenged to address some fundamental questions about teaching and learning related to the accommodation of and respect for difference.
Underpinning the movement for inclusion is a concern for social justice and wellbeing. Meeting the diverse needs of learners within today's schools, colleges and universities, is one of the most challenging and important tasks facing education today.
This thoroughly revised master's degree is unique not only because of the disciplinary approaches it employs, but also because students study and apply an approach to wellbeing that has been developed by some of the world’s leading thinkers.
This is an approach that is internationally recognised by, for example, the UN, and whose principles are increasingly found in government policy on education and SEN, namely the Capability Approach. We are one of the very few institutions in the UK to offer this practical and ethical approach to assessing issues of SEN, equality and inclusion.
Normally a strong 2.2 Honours degree or above or equivalent qualification acceptable to the University in any subject discipline.

Graduates from this degree have found it beneficial in their professional institutions in advising colleagues, influencing policy, and supporting pupils and students.
The degree helps students reshape their thinking on special needs education and matters of inclusion, to question values and beliefs that were previously taken for granted. Importantly, a master's degree in SEN/Inclusion will be of great advantage to professionals seeking promotion as we move towards a masters-led teaching profession.
