Since last week I have been checking frequently to see if there were any responses to the original request for information about a possible Masters degree in Conductive Education on Yahoo and this blog.
First, a reply was put up on Yahoo from Mel Brown about the possiblity of such a course which is still in the discussion stages. This can be found at

Secondly, Andrew Sutton left a comment on this blog referring to other Masters courses in special education and included a link to http://www.mastersinspecialeducation.org/
A conductor has told me today that she had thought there was a Masters available from the Peto Institute but this had turned out not to be the case.
The minimum qualifications necessary to teach at a university is having a Masters degree - how many conductors have this? Who else could do the teaching?
I suppose that such a course will not become available until there is a big enough demand. Doing a higher degree is very expensive these days and you would need to be very sure it was useful (as well as interesting and informative) before investing a lot of time and money in it.
It will be interesting to see what the future brings.
