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.

Employability

The MA and PGDip in Deaf Education (Teachers of deaf children) is ideal for teachers who are already qualified to teach school-aged children in England but require the mandatory qualification to achieve qualified teacher of the deaf status from the Department for Education. The non mandatory MA qualification is suitable for professionals who do not wish, or are not eligible, to obtain qualified teacher of the deaf status 鈥� for example lecturers of deaf students, communication support workers and educational psychologists.

There is the opportunity to work towards a further professional qualification in the field of Education both within schools and in other settings, including progression to a PhD or EdD. The excellent careers advice provided by personal tutors has encouraged many of our graduates to successfully apply for leadership roles working with deaf children and young people. These include: specialist teachers, educational audiologists, teaching assistants, speech and language therapists, youth workers, social workers, counsellors and BSL interpreters.
