Course summary

Our programmes in Deaf Education provide opportunities for professional development for those who want to make a difference to the lives of deaf children and young people.

Approved by the Department of Education and designed to fit around busy working lives, the PGDip/MA Mandatary Qualification in Deaf Education are blended learning programmes that enable qualified teachers (QTS or QTLS) to gain specialist skills and knowledge that make a difference to the lives of children and young people in the classroom. You will be able to work through online learning materials at your own pace and will be supported by both online tutorials and live lectures. There are also two face to face study weekends that you must attend if you wish to gain the mandatory qualification.

Please note: an alternative course (MA Deaf Education) is also open to teachers (as well as other professionals with appropriate qualifications) working with deaf children who do not wish, or are not eligible, to obtain qualified teacher of the deaf status.

Why study this course?

  • The course is strongly rooted in practice and makes strong links with mainstream settings, special schools and sensory support services to help keep provision up to date and relevant to practice
