Course Overview

The MA Inclusive Education: SEN and Disability program explores the education of children and young people with learning difficulties, disabilities, disadvantages,s or other additional needs. Our program is founded upon a democratic commitment to forms of education that challenge exclusion and enable the participation, learning, development, and empowerment of all. Students studying in the program will engage with aspects of theory, policy, and practice relevant to international and local contexts. With its international profile, this program brings together those who have significant professional experience working with children and young people with learning difficulties, disabilities, disadvantages, or other additional needs, either directly in teaching, support, or project work, or as policy-makers, advisory workers or managers. The MA draws on different disciplinary traditions and approaches to theory and practice within the field of inclusion, SEN, and disability, but is underpinned by rights-based, justice-based, and equalities-based principles and a rejection of deficit-based approaches to the difference (including the medical model of disability).
