Special Educational Needs and Disability MA

Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of children and adults with special educational needs and disabilities? Our MA Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) at Lincoln Bishop University is designed for graduates and professionals who want to deepen their understanding, challenge their perspectives, and drive positive change in the field of SEND.

This flexible programme is available in three study modes to suit your lifestyle: full-time (1 year), part-time blended (2 years), or part-time online (2 years). You’ll have the opportunity to explore, analyse and critique the latest thinking in ideology, pedagogy and sociological frameworks that underpin inclusive and specialist education.

Throughout your studies, you’ll develop a systematic understanding of SEND theory and practice, building your confidence and competence in reflective practice, complex decision making, and independent research. The course is highly interactive, encouraging you to share your experiences, reflect on your practice, and contribute to lively discussions with peers and experts.

We place a strong emphasis on creating change—challenging your assumptions, broadening your understanding, and equipping you with the skills to make a meaningful impact. Whether you’re already working in education, social care, health, or preparing for a future role, this programme will support your professional development and help you shape the future of inclusive practice.

Join a community of passionate individuals committed to transforming lives and advancing the field of SEND.
