MA Special Educational Needs And Inclusive Education in Manchester Metropolitan University, UK

MA Special Educational Needs And Inclusive Education in Manchester Metropolitan University

Overview

Explore the ways practitioners generate knowledge across the field of inclusive education and disability. Reflect on your understanding of special educational needs (SEN). Examine alternative approaches to inclusion and diversity in education.

This masters degree focuses on the hidden voices in education. Rather than exploring a particular category of SEN, you’ll consider the critical issues for equality and diversity.

You’ll question the way we educate and look at alternative ways to encourage the inclusion of children and adults who are marginalised from typical ways of learning.

We emphasise the importance of understanding different perspectives and investigating where your position lies within current debates. We challenge you to rethink your ideas about education, to critique your views, and to think about the implications for policy and practice.

You’ll explore some of the wider questions related to theory, policy and practice in the field of inclusion, disability and SEN. Questions such as: How can education promote greater equity in an increasingly diverse society? How should we understand the complexities of inclusive education in a rapidly changing world?

Typically, you’ll study three core units and two option units. These option units give you the opportunity to delve deeper into the areas you’re passionate about, such as global policy or disability and difference.

Features and Benefits

• You’ll consider the critical issues for equity and diversity across the field of special educational needs.

Career prospects

You could develop your career across the education sector within mainstream and specialist settings. Many of our students have gone in to management and advisory positions related to inclusion and diversity in schools and other educational settings.

Teachers who take the PgCert (NASENCO) as part of their MA may become Special Educational Needs Coordinators in schools; others may develop specialisms in areas of special educational needs, such as autism or dyslexia.

You might continue studying, beginning a PGCE to become a teacher or starting a research degree (MPhil, EdD or PhD).
