Course Overview

This postgraduate certificate has been designed for those who wish to develop their knowledge, understanding, and practice in aspects of inclusion and to improve outcomes for children and young people with SEN and/or disabilities.

Our Master's provision will be run online, with some face-to-face tutorials where required. The on-campus elements will vary depending on each tutor and will be discussed with students beforehand.

The course is undergoing academic revalidation during this academic year.

If some non-graduates are to be considered pre-entry tasks will be considered and used at the coordinator’s discretion.

What You'll Study

1 Module

Inclusion and Special Educational Needs and Disability

30 Credits

(Compulsory)

This module offers students the opportunity to explore the concepts of inclusion and special educational needs and disability and to critically engage with the debates surrounding the inclusion ‘agenda.’ They will gain a critical understanding of how SEND can affect pupils’ participation and learning and can cause barriers to learning that can lead to underachievement. They will explore strategies to promote a whole school culture of high expectations and best practices in teaching and learning to improve outcomes for children and young people with SEND.

The Role of SENCO

30 Credits

(Compulsory)

This module is designed to provide students with the opportunity to appreciate and develop the personal and professional qualities and leadership skills they need to promote inclusive practice and support the interests and needs of children, young people, and pupils with SEND and disabilities. Students will be encouraged to critically reflect on the role of the SENCO and to critically evaluate their practice in the aspects of multi-agency working, meeting statutory responsibilities, and deploying resources and systems to improve outcomes for pupils with a range of SEND and their families.

Language Requirement

Newman University is not licenced by the UK Government to sponsor migrant students under the Student route and is therefore unable to accept applications from international students at present.
