Course Overview

You'll explore how to create a positive difference in the lives of people with learning disabilities, their families, and supporters. Working on units written by topic experts, you'll take a critical approach to knowledge of learning disability and contemporary practice as you enrich your understanding of this field. You'll also have opportunities to develop your research abilities.

This is a part-time, 2-year distance learning course, which allows you the flexibility to fit your studies around work commitments.

When you graduate, your MSc will enhance your career prospects in services for people with learning disabilities and their supporters.

This course focuses on learning disabilities or intellectual disabilities rather than specific learning difficulties, so we don't cover issues such as dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
