Online only
Accessibility that only works on a campus lab network is not accessibility for GlobalMind University’s students. This degree treats inclusive design as operations: live interpreters versus captions when the seminar is at 02:00 local, alt text in English when the hub chat is in Portuguese, assessment that is identity-checked without excluding screen-reader users. You will learn standards literacy (WCAG as craft, not as a licence). You will not become a clinician. You will not stamp a UN disability logo on a marketing page as if it were certification. Seminars themselves must be accessible—this programme should feel the constraint it teaches. You will audit a flow for disability, metered data, and seminar time, then prioritise remediation a product team can sequence. Keyboard paths on shared phones, captions on 02:00 live teaching, and screen-reader-usable hub scripts are assessed. Law literacy is academic; it is not rights of audience. Assistive technology must survive identity-checked assessment design. GlobalMind University will not appoint you as a statutory WCAG inspector and will not use a UN disability emblem as a substitute for an audit. Inclusive engineering language must not imply PE. MSc Platform Accessibility and Inclusive Design is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 36. Students move from WCAG as Craft, Not as a Licence through WCAG as Craft, Not as a Licence; Why This MSc Is Not PE or OT; Identity-Checked Assessment and Assistive Tech; Captions, Interpreters, and 02:00 Seminars; Low Bandwidth and Cognitive Load; Keyboard Paths on Shared Phones, and finish on Writing for Product and Registry. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result. Reading is a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. The artefact a marker expects is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Audit a learning flow for disability, bandwidth, and timezone exclusion Specify captions and alternatives for rotated live teaching Write hub scripts that are accessible in ES/PT/HI Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
Thirty-six credits: standards and law literacy (academic), global-remote constraints, hub and language, and a remediation capstone.

Modules are assessed through a published mix of coursework, applied projects, and examinations. Exam windows are announced in advance so students in other time zones are not forced into overnight sittings. Alternative arrangements are available where documented.
The published duration is 18 months. Teaching language: English (ES/PT/HI support hubs do not change the language of assessment unless a bilingual pathway is stated). Actual time-to-complete depends on mode and any recognised prior learning.
This is a fully online award. You study from your country. No student visa and no campus relocation are required.
Degree tuition for this award is published as £0 / tuition-free on the online pathway. Examination or administrative fees may apply at checkout — never an annual tuition invoice. Check the Fees page for any extras.
Requirements are grouped on this page (academic, English, documents). Equivalent qualifications are considered. English may be waived after prior English-medium study.
Assessment is typically a mix of coursework, projects, and examinations. Doctoral awards include a thesis or dissertation and an oral examination. Details sit in the programme specification and module outlines.
Recognition of the award for local employment, professional licence, or ministry attestation is decided by your employer or regulator. GlobalMind University publishes verification pages for certificates. We do not claim automatic equivalence in every country.
