The Post Graduate Diploma Deaf Education QToD is a two-year programme leading to the Mandatory qualification of Teacher of the Deaf for England and Wales and accredited by the Department for Education. This blended programme provides opportunities to work online and face to face with peers and build a network of colleagues from across the UK allowing you flexibility to study alongside your work-based commitments. It includes two short residentials, which are included in the course fees.
The School of Education has a national reputation both in teaching and research in the field of deaf education and draws students from all over England and Northern Ireland with a variety of experiences and knowledge, which you can also benefit from as part of our community. The programme is led by national and international leaders as well as senior practitioners in the field.
Approved by the Department for Education (DfE) to offer the Mandatory Qualification for Teachers of the Deaf, the programme integrates cutting-edge research knowledge with practitioner expertise to develop skilled, knowledgeable and critical practitioners. Dissertations will be supervised by experts in the field.
Our assessments are varied and designed to develop the skills you need in the field and updated in response to student feedback. From September 2023 assessed presentations may be delivered in BSL.
All University based sessions are supported by BSL interpreters and notetakers
We welcome suitably qualified deaf and hearing applicants and provide appropriate access and support arrangements for all students.
Bursaries are offered to UK Deaf Education schools or services funding more than one student per school or service in a single year.
We also offer a MA Deaf Education QToD in this subject. See MA Deaf Education (Teacher of the Deaf) for more information.
