This two year full-time programme integrates theoretical learning, clinical skills and in-depth personal development to prepare graduates for clinical practice, predominantly with children, as a professional play therapist within the public and private sectors. Based on a humanistic person-centred model of therapy, this course emphasises the use of play within a therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client to facilitate therapeutic change. The course encompasses theoretical, practical and experiential learning. With our holistic approach to teaching, you will be provided with thorough and systematic knowledge, experience, skills and the confidence to work as a professionally qualified play therapist.

If you are not sure that you are ready to embark on a full masters’ degree we also offer introductory courses that provide a useful background to those working in related professions or anyone simply wishing to find out more about the work.
Although there is no official opening or closing deadline, the Play Therapy MA admissions panel will expect to commence assessing application forms in January with a view to selecting the most promising candidates for interview in early March. Applicant selection for interview will continue at approximately monthly intervals and offers made until all 20 places are filled. It is envisaged this process is unlikely to continue beyond July so applications received after this date may be held over to the following year of entry.
Only apply for the year of entry in which you intend to commence your studies. However, in exceptional circumstances, a deferred place may be considered.
