The Creative Health MASc is the first of its kind, providing the first Master’s level ‘Arts and Sciences’ qualification, with a focus on the intersection of the arts and health sciences. The course seeks to address growing national and international interest in the evolving field of Creative Health. It does this by examining different aspects of this field, including arts, culture and nature in health, health equity, lived experience and community assets. Our approach to teaching and learning focuses on research-led/based practice, community engagement, non-clinical interventions including social prescribing, and experiential learning.
Since its launch in 2021, the Creative Health MASc continues to have a substantial impact on enabling a new generation of socially engaged scholars and practitioners to meet the needs of changing health, social care and voluntary third sectors, where personalised care and the patient experience are integrated with primary, secondary and community health.
Over the last two decades, the field of Creative Health has grown rapidly, facilitated by a number of major advances in research, the publication of several key policy documents by Arts Council, central and regional governments and the World Health Organisation, as well as the growing participation of arts, culture, nature and community organisations in health and wellbeing. Arguably, the foundation document for the movement, the 2017 All Party Parliamentary Group for Arts, Health and Wellbeing Creative Health Inquiry, has identified a need for more education and training opportunities for those interested in working in the sector. This need seems more pressing than ever, in the aftermath of the COVID-19 Pandemic and with health (including mental health and psychiatric) services in many places at breaking point. If the field is to continue to develop and promote high-quality research and practice, the provision of such training opportunities, as offered by the Creative Health MASc, is vital.
To this end, the Creative Health MASc offers a range of taught and research-led modules, providing students with a direct understanding of the depth and breadth of Creative Health, including practice, policy shift and research innovation. Taught modules will provide the necessary grounding in Creative Health for students to understand the scope of research, policy and practice. The research dissertation will be undertaken in collaboration with a community partner, providing practical experience of the role of community organisations in supporting different aspects of health and wellbeing, with a focus on developing and applying research and evaluation skills.
A Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate is also offered.
