Course summary

The MSc Inclusive Education has been designed for graduates who want to make a difference to the lives of children and young people in education. Our distinctive approach presents a re-imagined future for learners and teachers, where responding to human diversity is recognised as the point, not the problem, of education. Enhance your opportunities for employment or advancement in the education field, particularly concerning educational and social disadvantage, additional support for learning and other specialist areas, on this programme. If you are a graduate in education, psychology and related social science backgrounds you will find that the programme builds on your previous study. You will compare inclusive educational practices in Scotland, the UK and across the world. You will study particular approaches to removing barriers to learning and including all children. The programme offers a number of routes, including Postgraduate Diploma specialist pathways designed primarily for people who are teaching or who want to teach in these specialist areas:

  • Postgraduate Diploma (visually impaired learners)
  • Postgraduate Diploma (deaf learners)
  • Postgraduate Diploma (multilingual learners)
Accreditation The British Association of Teachers of the Deaf has endorsed the PgDiploma Inclusive Education (Deaf Learners) pathway and supports the way it acts as a professional qualification. The Scottish Association for Visual Impairment Education (SAVIE) has endorsed the PgDiploma Inclusive Education (Visually Impaired Learners) pathway and supports the way it acts as a professional qualification. Colleagues from NALDIC, the subject association for EAL, contribute to learning and teaching on the PgDiploma Inclusive Education (Multilingual Learners) pathway, as we jointly seek to promote educational excellence and equity for all pupils, across the UK and internationally. Accredited Provider of the Mandatory Qualification for specialist teachers in England For teachers who reside and work in England, to teach a class of pupils with hearing impairment (HI), vision impairment (VI), or multi-sensory impairment (MSI), a teacher must hold a mandatory qualification in addition to qualified teacher status. To offer the mandatory qualification in sensory impairment (MQSI), providers must be approved by the Department for Education. Our MSc Inclusive Education (Visually Impaired Learners) is accredited by the Department for Education. For those who reside elsewhere in the United Kingdom, this qualification is recognised as leading to the Qualified Teacher of Children and Young People with Vision Impairment (QTVI) qualification.
