Skills
Gain the expertise you need to standout in today’s marketplace.
Designed with professionals in mind, the Roehampton SEND and Inclusive Education MA is intended to be a valuable career boost for classroom teachers and other inclusion or SEND professionals.
By focusing on graduating with a professional skillset, you’ll become a confident, agile, independent thinker, with the ability to adapt rapidly to change.
This incorporates;
- Engaging with aspects of theory, policy and practice relevant to international and local contexts.
- With its international profile, the programme 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 difference (including the medical model of disability).
