Inclusion (SLD/PMLD)

Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) We also offer a one year, part-time Postgraduate Certificate (60 credits in total). This option gives you the opportunity to gain a specialist qualification at Masters level after just one year of study , or (on successful completion of the modules) to transfer to the MA Programme. For the PGCert, you choose from one of the first year pathway options and for those who transfer to the MA, this would constitute your first year of the three-year course. The MA Inclusion entry criteria, teaching and assessment all apply to the PGCert option. This course will run in a part-time mode, online for either 12 or 36 months depending on which awarded degree you enrolled for.
