The MA in Special and Inclusive Education at the University of Nottingham Malaysia explores how education systems can better support children and young people with special or additional learning needs. It focuses on contemporary debates, theory and research in inclusive education, with attention to barriers to participation, rights in schooling and evidence-based support strategies.
The course offers a critical, research-informed learning experience for teachers and education professionals. Students build analytical skills through taught study and a dissertation, using the programme to examine inclusive practice in depth and to strengthen their understanding of how equitable approaches can be applied in schools.
