Offered by Liverpool Hope University, the MA Disability Studies provides a comprehensive postgraduate education in social sciences. Based in Liverpool, England, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 1-year full-time and part-time structure. Course subject to Validation Disability Studies is a relatively new but rapidly growing academic discipline, as illustrated by the international proliferation of courses, events, networks, journals, book series, monographs, edited collections, and so on.
