MA Inclusive Education Part-time

Our MA Inclusive Education is ideal if you’re an education professional seeking to develop your professional career. Whether you work in a school, FE college or university, this master’s programme will help you to progress into leadership roles or develop leadership in the crucial area of inclusion.

A master’s programme at the University of Bolton will help you to demonstrate a range of key transferable skills, such as interpersonal skills, excellent communication skills (both oral and written), and the ability to work independently. You’ll learn how to explore educational research and demonstrate how concepts, theories and evidence can inform an understanding of issues and practice.

What Can I Do With This Qualification?
This MA aims to accelerate promotion in the careers of professionals working in inclusion in schools and other settings. Depending on your prior experience and career history, you could seek positions such as Head of Year or Assistant Head of Year, Head of Inclusion or Assistant Head of Inclusion, Higher-Level Teaching Assistant. The course will also benefit social workers working with looked after children, and inclusion workers working with social services.

Normally, you’ll have at least an Upper Second Class (2.1) Honours degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject, and appropriate work experience.

An initial qualification in teaching, if this is not formally part of your first degree, is desirable and experience in the education sector is strongly advised because you’ll need to critically reflect on your experience and relate theory to practice.
