ABOUT
Introduction:
Education at Nottingham Trent University (NTU)
This course is designed for a wide range of people interested in special and inclusive education, such as those who currently, or are wanting to, have a role that is directly concerned with special and inclusive education in an education setting or education policy or research contexts. These education settings range from early years to higher education and all sectors in between and beyond formal education. Therefore, the course is designed to provide different modes and routes that are suited to the breadth of potential students who have a range of expertise and experience. As such it has an approach to the modules which can then be applied locally and in different contexts.
This part time MA route has been structured to allow you to join the MA at different stages based on your accredited prior learning (APL). Within the part time route three modules are offered for offsite teaching, which are designed for groups of employees to undertake level 7 study onsite in the school, college or other educational setting where they are employed, under the guidance of the university tutor. To achieve an MA Special and Inclusive Education at least 90 credits of your 180 credits must include the Perspectives on Inclusive Education module and your dissertation subject must relate to special and inclusive education.
What you’ll study
This is a demanding and exciting research-based programme. It requires you to immerse yourself in reading, thinking, discussion, reflection and writing, enabling you to take the next, critical step in your professional learning.
This Masters degree allows you to investigate a range of issues impacting on education in general and your own organisation in particular. We want you to challenge your thinking.
Careers and employability
The MA Education degree is increasingly seen as both academic enhancement and a means to facilitate career progress. Many graduates have gone on to successful careers within the education sector, pursuing senior roles, while others have continued studying to complete a Professional Doctorate, an MPhil or a PhD.
The MA Education programme is not a teacher training course and will not give you Qualified Teacher Status.
Learn a new language
Alongside your study you also have the opportunity to learn a new language. The University Language Programme (ULP) is available to all students and gives you the option of learning a totally new language or improving the skills you already have.
Learning a new language can:
- Enhance your communication skills
- Enrich your experience when travelling abroad
- Boost your career prospects.
Entry requirements
What are we looking for?
You will need:
- Applicants will be expected to have achieved a 2:2 honours degree, or equivalent, at undergraduate level in a relevant area of study. Applicants with a third class honours degree will be considered alongside evidence of successful achievement of at least 30 credits at Masters Level in the last 3 years. Equivalent international qualifications are acceptable for entry to the programme.
Other requirements:
- Work experience is preferred, but applications will be considered without it. We can find placements during the course for students without experience.
APL credits
Applicants can APL on to the part time route to complete between 90 and 170 credits. Therefore, the maximum APL is 90 credits and 10 credits is the minimum; the exception to this are applicants who graduated from the NTU PGDE ITE courses prior to 2018 with 120 credits at level 7 (the last year of entry for this cohort will be October 2023).
There are two common level 7 entry routes for applicants with APL into the course:
- PG Certificate in Education (with QTS) (maximum of 60 credits)
- Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) award (maximum of 60 credits)
For applicants with a PGCE in Education from an NTU ITE course (i.e. 60 credits at level 7), their level 7 credits will be automatically accepted. For applicants who completed a PGCE ITE course at another university or gained level 7 credits from any non-ITE education course, consideration for APL on to the course will be considered on an individual basis.
Due to the rapidly changing nature of education, APL must occur within three years of having attained the award. (Note: the exception to this is applicants who graduated from the NTU PGDE ITE courses prior to 2018 with 120 credits at level 7).
