Program overview
A one year master degree in inclusive practice, covering special educational needs, disability studies, inclusive pedagogy, policy frameworks and a research dissertation.
Inclusive education addresses how schools support learners with additional needs, which is a growing area of British education policy.
Master of Arts in Inclusive Education is taught at Bath Spa University, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the inclusive education master is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the inclusive education master, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the inclusive education master plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the inclusive education master does not support a family move.
The academic bar for Master of Arts in Inclusive Education is a completed bachelor degree with 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the inclusive education master is recorded at GBP 17,485. Bath Spa charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the inclusive education master. The inclusive education master lists three entry windows, one September start in each of three consecutive years. Apply Study Visa manages your the inclusive education master application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A completed bachelor degree from a recognised university, at the percentage stated.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 75 with reading 18, writing 17, speaking 20 and listening 17; PTE Academic 65 with reading 50, writing 55, speaking 55 and listening 50; or the Duolingo English Test at 120.
- Application and deposit: Bath Spa charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: This is not a teacher training qualification. The SENCO role requires qualified teacher status and a separate national award. Enhanced background checks apply to work with children.
- Work rights: the inclusive education master is a degree, so it supports a UK Graduate Route application giving two years of unsponsored work after you finish. No dependant may accompany you on a taught course.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa prepares the CAS request, the financial evidence and the UK student visa submission with you.
