Special and Inclusive Education MA – (M.Sc.)

Our philosophy is for study to be relevant to the classroom or workplace, with a strong emphasis on reflecting on your own practice in order to bring about school improvements that affect the achievement and motivation of your pupils. Examples of good practice are drawn from research literature and from discussion with other practitioners. The course also acknowledges the importance of developing a research-based approach to learning.
Teaching focuses on schools, as many students are teachers or teaching assistants. However, the approach and assessment successfully includes practitioners from a range of disciplines and in workplaces such as Early Years settings, Further Education, home teaching and various clinical settings. Teachers, teaching assistants and other professionals from both special and mainstream schools, units and support teams work closely together on the modules.
