Program Description

Do you want to work for and with children and youth in need of special support? This interdisciplinary one-year master's program will provide you with a theoretical basis, knowledge, and tools for professional collaboration to support children and youth and their families. You will learn about interventions that enable children and youth to actively participate in everyday life.

The program is interdisciplinary and you will gain deepened theoretical knowledge and skills to work professionally with children in need of support and their families in the contexts of preschool/school, child healthcare, rehabilitation, and social work. It provides a basis for further development in a variety of professional roles. Our students have a background in education, special education, nursing, psychology, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and social welfare. As a student, you gain valuable knowledge of theories and tools that you can use to critically and systematically analyze, assess, and handle complex phenomena, problems, and situations related to childhood interventions. You are provided with the opportunity to tailor parts of your education to a specific area related to your professional and research interests. After graduation, you are qualified to start a research career by applying for doctoral studies.

The program is, for instance, connected to the research group CHILD (Children, Health, Intervention, Learning, Development) which collaborates in broad national and international networks. During your studies, CHILD researchers will share their knowledge and experiences from working with children in need of special support, with you.
