What our students have to say about this course

"Building on my professional experience I applied to the course with a desire to develop and deepen my knowledge within the education field, challenge my thinking and undertake research within the SEND field.

Highlights of the course included being able to interact with other educational professionals and the quality and depth of knowledge of each lecturer. It was challenging, thought provoking and valuable to talk through issues and factors relating to education across the world and within the local community that I worked.

Undertaking the MA has been of great value as led me to undertake my Doctor of Education at LJMU and continue my growth professionally; with an aim to produce impactful research. The course was challenging but has benefited me both personally and professionally and I would recommend it to all who want to continue to progress their career." Heidi Smith, graduate
