Overview

Program Description Gain an advanced understanding of how children learn and develop through play with Swansea's Master’s degree in Developmental and Therapeutic Play. Students will explore evidence-based practice in play across a range of professional contexts, combining in-depth theory with fieldwork experience. This includes how the environment and social interactions support children’s growing repertoire of play skills, with a particular emphasis on the inherent value of children’s self-directed play experiences. Throughout the studies, students will refine critical research and analytical skills valued by employers and develop professional reflective practice techniques. Based in Swansea's College of Human and Health Sciences, students will benefit from a diverse teaching and research environment, with many opportunities to make connections across disciplines. According to the most recent Research Excellence Framework in 2014-2021, over 75% of research carried out at the college was of international or world-leading quality. They have strong links with a range of research networks and similar departments in universities in Europe and around the world, so students' learning is informed by the latest policy and practice developments. The postgraduate qualification in Developmental and Therapeutic Play opens up a range of career opportunities in sectors including: Education, International aid, Counselling and pastoral care, Social work, Healthcare, Play work, Domestic violence teams, and Prison service.
