The MA Inclusion at Birmingham
Our flexible, online MA Inclusion programme (with pathways) will give you the confidence to support children, young people or adults with diverse needs across a variety of settings, including education, health and social care.
The part-time MA is ideal for teachers, and educational or support professionals in national and international settings. Our range of modules provides an opportunity to deepen your understanding of inclusive practices and choose specialist pathways tailored to the unique learning needs of different groups.
If you are looking for a shorter commitment, we also offer a one-year, part-time Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) as an option to gain a specialist qualification at Masters level.
Join us to explore inclusive practices through different specialisms and make a meaningful impact in your chosen field.
Online delivery
Our programme is taught online, part-time and gives you the flexibility to study around other commitments. We provide:
- Online materials: content is released weekly for you to study at your own pace.
- Online live classes: these sessions enhance your learning experience by allowing you to meet and interact with your instructor and classmates as you study.
- Study weekends: we offer one study weekend a year, which you can join online or you have the option to visit our beautiful campus and meet in person.
