Diploma/MAs in Disability Studies at Leeds

In response to increased demand, the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds now offers seven post graduate courses in Disability Studies and related fields.

In addition to the hugely popular:

• Post-graduate Diploma/MA in Disability Studies

• Post Graduate Diploma/MA in Disability Studies by Open Distance Learning

Also we now offer the following programmes:

• Post-graduate Diploma/MA in Disability and Gender

• Post-graduate Diploma/MA in Disability and Health

• Post-graduate Diploma/MA in Disability and Race and Ethnicity

• Post-graduate Diploma/MA in Disability and Social Policy and

• Post-graduate Diploma/MA in Disability and Special Educational Needs.

These new schemes have been developed to give students an opportunity to apply a disability studies perspective to a particular area of social policy and support. All our Disability Studies courses are designed for people working in or planning a career in the general area of disability policy, research and related activities.

Candidates will normally have a first degree or equivalent professional qualification, but relevant experience will be taken into account where appropriate. These courses are taught in an accessible location and the University welcomes disabled students and people working in the human service industries.
