PGCertSpEd (ResMeth) - Postgraduate Certificate in Special Education (Research Methods)

The aim of this certificate is to prepare students for research in special education. It is an essential prerequisite for students who wish to study for a postgraduate degree by research thesis at MUSEC but is available to anyone who is keen to learn the basics of research in special education. The certificate comprises three units: a coursework unit (SPED801) which provides instruction in basic statistics and research design, literature searching and how to analyse research critically; and two project units, SPED 901 and SPED 902, which require, respectively, the completion of a 5000 word review of a body of recent research literature on a chosen topic followed by a small scale or pilot research study, usually involving empirical data collection, which is again to be written up in 5000 words.
