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.

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.
