Creative Health MA

Creative Health is an emerging field, and this pioneering MA places you at its evolving centre. Designed for artists, facilitators and practitioners, the course brings together embodied and somatic practice, creative enquiry and reflective research to explore how creativity can act as a catalyst for individual, social and systemic wellbeing. Drawing from performing arts, socially engaged arts and creative research, you’ll learn how to design, deliver and critically reflect on creative health interventions in real-world contexts, working ethically and relationally with communities and partners such as Mind and take heart, Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust. Rooted in care, presence and responsibility (this is not therapy training), the course values lived experience alongside academic rigour and supports you to develop your own authentic voice rather than fit a predetermined mould. Through collaboration, applied projects and a final practice-as-research project shared at a Creative Health Symposium, you’ll be supported to help shape this emerging field with integrity, curiosity and courageous imagination.
