Course Overview

This flexible part-time Master’s is designed for practising professionals in special educational needs and disability (SEND) - or those interested in research – usually in schools, the lifelong learning sector and universities.

Its modular structure allows you to personalise your choice of units and progress at a pace that best suits you, with a final phase focused on educational research via a dissertation.

The course engages you with key issues in education and aims to encourage your evidence-based practice, supporting you to make direct and meaningful connections between your studies and your own experiences and aspirations.
