Education - SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities)

Oxford Brookes University has opted into the TEF and received a Silver award.

The MA Education (SEND) pathway is dedicated to the advanced study of issues around special education, disability and inclusion at Masters level. On this pathway you will develop your critical enquiry and reflection in the field of SEND, and study in a learning environment where you will be supported in improving and developing your practice. You will gain depth and insight into your professional thinking and meet students who are at various levels in their careers. The academic team of specialist staff at Oxford Brookes have a strong background in SEND teaching and are research-;active in the field of SEND.

Students travel from around the world to attend courses at the university and there are plenty of resources available to them. On the website is a range of course specific information and plenty to help before the student arrives in Oxford. Once they reach the campuses, then there is support available on matters such as money and banking, health and insurance and bringing family to Oxford. There is also information about immigration matters and visas and even simple packing tips for first-time students. These are provided by the International Student Advice Team who are available via email and phone as well as on-site. Brookes Union is the student union at the university and are in charge of organising over 60 clubs and societies as well as organising events and offering support for students. All students are automatically members and there is advice on hand for matters such as finances, housing, welfare and legal issues. It organises regular events such as Fresher’s Week, to help new students get to know the university.
