Education (Special and Inclusive Education) (Taught)

Special and Inclusive Education shines a critical lens on potential barriers to learning and strategies to overcome them. It looks at historical and theoretical perspectives of ‘Inclusion’ and gives participants the opportunity to analyse current policy and practice.

Both of our SIE modules are aimed at participants with a particular interest in Special Educational Needs, Disability and Inclusion.

Key features

• Opportunities to specialise in the area of Special Educational Needs, Disability and Inclusion.

• Activities that allow you to reflect on your own experiences and explore other viewpoints.

• Module tutors who have applied experience in Inclusive practice and relevant research outputs.

• Flexibility: The programme of study can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis. Modules are delivered at weekends, in the evenings and online to maximise accessibility and to allow students to retain their other professional and family commitments.

The programme consists of two taught modules in each of the first two semesters and a Dissertation in the first half of the second year.
