Program details

Overview

The Special Education specialisation of the Master of Education is run by the National Institute of Education and builds professional competence in special education through theory, practice and research. It helps educators connect educational theory to practice when they develop a curriculum and teaching approach that fits the varied needs of their pupils. The programme is intended for people already teaching or supporting persons with disabilities who want a stronger academic foundation. It suits practitioners who wish to link research findings to the decisions they make about teaching and support. It is one of 16 specialisations within the Master of Education, a degree intended mainly for teachers employed by schools in Singapore or by the Ministry of Education. Study is available full-time or part-time.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants need a solid first degree from a recognised institution, or a related NTU FlexiMasters completed with good results. They must also hold a teaching qualification (for example a Diploma in Special Education or NIE's postgraduate diploma in education) plus at least one year of experience teaching persons with disabilities, or alternatively have at least three years of experience teaching or supporting persons with disabilities. English language standards apply, and meeting the minimum bar does not secure a place. Applications are submitted online, and applicants should follow NIE announcements to see whether the programme opens for a given intake.
