The MA in Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) is designed to reflect interests and ambitions of graduates and practitioners engaged in complexities and challenges related to SEND. The programme offers opportunities to explore, analyse and critique ideology, pedagogy and sociological frameworks concerning inclusive and specialist education. Completion of the degree leads to development of knowledge and skills across a range of special educational needs and disabilities, promoting competence and confidence in reflective practice, decision making in complex situations and completing independent research. By following this programme, students will develop a systematic understanding of knowledge related to SEND theory and practice.
The course promotes independent study, including identification of research techniques and research methods engaging students fully with SEND research and practice. It will help them to develop a conceptual understanding that enables them to analyse, debate, appreciate ambiguity and uncertainty yet be competent in evaluating and defending viewpoints, improving their research literacy and research skills. Ultimately, they will be able to solve problems through applying alternative methods and techniques in shaping and changing practice for children and young people with SEND.
The course is suited to a wide variety of contexts; education, social and care, and relevant to practice across different age ranges. With a strong focus upon creating change, challenging social injustice and promoting entitlement, students will gain skills in analysis of theory and practice, sharing your experience, reflections and contributions with others.
