Inclusive Practice - MEd, PgDip, PgCert

This is a specialised education programme to support teaching and learning for all needs and abilities within the teaching area for pre-school, primary, secondary and FE teachers, delivered via online learning part time. You can either study to PgCert, PgDip or MEd as each qualification follows in succession and if you are currently teaching you can apply your learning in the classroom and via projects.

This is a hugely rewarding programme to enable individuals to reach their potential in life and work around any challenges they may have to explore their true potential. You learn a huge range of methods to get to that potential. You support student needs at a crucial time of learning to ensure they gain confidence in life.

Fundamental to the programme is the belief that all learners have the same rights and are of equal worth, irrespective of their ability, cultural background, race, gender or age. The programme aims to help teachers and lecturers improve the educational experience of children and young people, particularly those with additional support needs.
