Course summary

Uncover what life is like for autistic people. Unravel the impact of support available today and how this shapes their experiences.

Studying with us, you’ll map the evolution of autism interventions, and engage with current debates in policy and practice. We’ll also help you develop your own knowledge of autism in the 21st century and sharpen your critical study skills.

Not only will you benefit from specialist training, you’ll also learn from autistic people who work alongside our interdisciplinary department. Listen to diverse stories and learn to appreciate autism as a unique way of being.

We’ve designed this postgraduate qualification for anyone who works or aspires to work, or communicates regularly with autistic people. The course offers an opportunity to take on continuing professional development (CPD) and boost your career prospects. We particularly welcome applications from autistic people, their families and carers.

Your future career

By the end of our PGCert Social Sciences (Critical Autism Studies), you’ll be ready to help and work with autistic people.

You’ll understand how autistic people interact with the world and others. You’ll be able to think critically about developments in policy and services, as well as act as an advocate for autistic human rights and offer empowering support.

With this postgraduate qualification on your CV, you can apply for roles in health and social care settings or in international development. With some additional training, you could pursue a career in teaching, social work or counselling. Alternatively, you could continue your studies with a Masters by Research degree.
