Course summary

The 2015 Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice (DfE/DoH) specifies that all teachers must be seen as teachers of pupils with SEN and take responsibility for the progress of all learners in their class. With an estimated 20 per cent of our young people in school with special educational needs, it is important for teachers to have access to current research and to develop their understanding and confidence in this area. The MA in Special Educational Needs is designed to critically engage with current thinking and ideas about inclusive and specialist education.This course is relevant to both mainstream and specialist settings. The aim is to build the capacity of teachers and other professionals to respond effectively to the diverse educational needs of all learners, including those with special educational needs.You will develop detailed knowledge of specific special needs, including autism, dyslexia and social and emotional mental health issues.Throughout the course, you will be supported to develop a critical understanding of theory alongside the practical knowledge you will gain.You will learn through lectures, face-to-face tutorials and by working in small discussion groups and pairs.There is a focus on collaborative learning, building on the strength of shared experience, knowledge and expertise. During taught sessions, you will be encouraged to interact with your fellow professionals, allowing you to explore theory and practice.This course will help you develop a range of transferable skills that are desirable in a wide range of careers.These skills include knowledge of theories, legislation, policy and practice, computer literacy, planning and time management and written communication. It will also demonstrate your ability to design and carry out small-scale research and to engage in critical thinking.
