From September 2009, the School of Education is launching a new International Masters Programme in Deaf Education.

This programme builds on the success of existing provision in this area for home professionals and is led by Dr Ruth Swanwick, a recognised expert in the UK in the teaching and research of deaf education. This part-time distance education programme is designed for International and EU educational professionals in deaf education who wish to study at a distance to develop their specialist professional knowledge and gain a wider understanding of international issues and developments.

This programme is the first of its kind to enable deaf education professionals to participate and collaborate in international study at Masters level. It aims to attract experienced international teachers wishing to focus on a special area of expertise which they may then disseminate to colleagues to the benefit of their schools, and, at the same time, gain a Masters qualification.

This is a an e-blended distance programme which will make use of the University new Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) to combine module reading and private research with collaborative on-line tasks and discussion. Students will study part-time in their own country and engage with course tutors and fellow students via the synchronous and asynchronous VLE activities.

This new programme reflects the School's belief in, and strong commitment to, high quality research-led teaching.
