This part-time course is suitable for people working in rehabilitation, human resources, employment and disability services. It focuses on vocational rehabilitation for people employed in agencies and services who help individuals, including those with disabilities, to gain or retain employment.
You examine the current political and sociological context of employment for people with disabilities and the barriers they face. You also develop practical skills and interventions to improve your current practice. Core and optional modules allow you to develop a programme of study to meet your personal and professional needs.
You can take any module individually for continuing professional development. Alternatively, you can work towards a named award by taking the appropriate number of credits on a specified route. This may be a postgraduate certificate, a postgraduate diploma or a masters degree.
This course improves your ability to learn and collaborate effectively in practice, to provide a co-ordinated service that meets the identified employment needs of individuals.
