Overview

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.

It will allow you to develop your knowledge of specific learning difficulties, and to become a reflective practitioner who can use research to inform your own practice.

The MA in Special Educational Needs at the University of East London will give you a firm grounding in understanding a range of special needs across a variety of age groups. Subjects include autism, dyslexia, social and emotional mental health issues, inclusion and leadership in SEN.

Career

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.
