Master of Arts [M.A] [Disability Studies] From Liverpool Hope University

Academics

• Applicants normally require a First Class or Upper Second Class Honours Degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline
• Applicants who do not meet above criteria may be asked to demonstrate potential to achieve a Masters award via a sample of academic writing and interview

English Proficiency

• Along with the minimum eligibility requirements, international students hailing from non-English speaking countries need to prove English proficiency through IELTS/TOEFL/any equivalent test.

• Students completing the MA will be well placed to go on to a doctorate (EdD or PhD) at Liverpool Hope or elsewhere.
• Beyond the academy disability studies is relevant to many careers. “Some industries seem to do better during uncertain times than others,” states the Open University’s website, and the “number of people likely to need access to care services is predicted to double over the next 25 years.
• This fact only reflects a tiny aspect of the rich reality of disability but nonetheless invokes the truism at the heart of Disability Studies, that if we live long enough we all become disabled.
• As we are living increasingly long lives the need for a profound appreciation of disability is becoming increasingly great.
