Program Overview

On this course you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of educational theories, policies and practice. At the same time you’ll explore how these apply to real world issues surrounding the educational inclusion of deaf learners.

The course combines modules on Deaf Studies and Education. The Deaf Studies modules explore the history, education, culture, community and language of Deaf people, and you’ll study British Sign Language.

In the Education modules you’ll take an in-depth look at issues involving learning, diversity and inclusion in the education system, vulnerable learners, and aspects of current education policy in England.

It’s estimated that more than 60% of British Sign Language / English interpreters working in the UK have been taught on our Deaf Studies courses.

You’ll have access to a sign language lab and well-equipped classrooms.
