Deaf Studies as an academic field focuses on the study of deafness, sign language, and the experiences of Deaf individuals within society. It encompasses a multidisciplinary approach, combining elements from linguistics, sociology, psychology, education, and cultural studies to better understand the unique culture and identity of the Deaf community.

Deaf Studies is instrumental in promoting inclusivity and understanding of the Deaf community and its rich linguistic and cultural heritage. Graduates in this field play a vital role in bridging communication gaps, advocating for Deaf rights, and creating more accessible and inclusive environments. As awareness of Deaf culture and language continues to grow, the demand for professionals with expertise in Deaf Studies will increase, making it a rewarding and impactful career path for individuals passionate about empowering the Deaf community and promoting social equity.

Your master's degree program will consist of specialised lectures, research projects, and opportunities for community engagement and collaboration. Depending on your chosen area of focus, you may study modules like:

  • Deaf Identity and Intersectionality
