The MA CAMH (Child and Adolescent Mental Health) at the University of South Wales is designed for professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of the complex factors influencing the social, emotional, and mental well-being of young people. This postgraduate degree offers a vital non-clinical pathway for generalist and specialist practitioners, managers, and researchers to critically engage with CAMH issues within a broad societal context. You will explore key concepts, risk and protective factors, and evidence-based interventions, developing the analytical skills necessary to make a tangible impact on the lives of children and young people.
This Master's degree is studied on campus full-time over one year, providing an immersive learning experience. You will complete core modules in CAMH contexts, management and support, and research methodology, alongside specialist modules tailored to your interests, such as Autism or Working with Vulnerable Groups. The programme culminates in a substantial dissertation, allowing you to conduct in-depth research. You will graduate with advanced critical thinking skills and a comprehensive knowledge base, preparing you for enhanced roles in CAMH services, policy development, or further academic research.
