Disability Studies is a relatively new but rapidly growing academic discipline, as illustrated by the international proliferation of courses, events, networks, journals, book series, monographs, edited collections, and so on. Though drawing on this progress substantially, the proposed Disability Studies pathway will differ from similar programmes so far as it will place particular emphasis on cultural issues. We will not only be interested in the policies and prejudices around disability but also its representation in literature, media, film, art and so on. Liverpool Hope University is particularly well suited as a host for this programme on many counts. We have a number of experts in Disability Studies, award winning tutors, and internationally recognised scholars and researchers. What is more, the regional, national, and international profile of the proposed programme will be enhanced greatly by the Centre for Culture & Disability Studies - and, by extension, the Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies and the International Network of Literary & Cultural Disability Scholars–that is housed at the Graduate School in the Faculty of Education, Liverpool Hope University. - See more at: http://www.hope.ac.uk/postgraduate/postgraduatecourses/educationdisabilitystudiesma/title,12341,en.html#sthash.75hsBB7a.dpuf

A Masters in Education will allow you to enhance your personal interests, career specific opportunities and show potential for promotion to senior leadership. For practising teachers it can be a good way to enhance your opportunities to move beyond threshold, or simply become an ‘outstanding’ practitioner. Students completing the MA will also be well placed to go on to a doctorate (EdD or PhD) at Liverpool Hope. - See more at: http://www.hope.ac.uk/postgraduate/postgraduatecourses/educationdisabilitystudiesma/title,12341,en.html#sthash.75hsBB7a.dpuf
