MA Education (Special Educational Needs)

... United Kingdom
... University of Bedfordshire

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.

You broaden your knowledge of educational ideas and research findings, as you identify and justify recommendations for further action, placing you in a better position to develop as a classroom practitioner or school leader.
