Arts, Health & Wellbeing MA

The MA Arts, Health & Wellbeing will be of value to artists, arts or health managers, therapists, counsellors, community workers and teachers, plus others with an interest in the relationship between arts, health and wellbeing. A key element of this postgraduate art course is the cultivation of partnerships, internships and artist in residence schemes with NHS Trusts, arts organisations, social services, charitable trusts and commercial companies.

Our students undertake projects in a broad range of media, alongside the study of concepts and theories that inform arts, health and wellbeing practice and research. The course will enable you to develop your professional skills and experience within relevant critical and contextual frameworks. It encompasses a broad spectrum of creativity from participation and socially engaged practice to site-specific art works aimed at enhancing healthcare environments.
