Course Overview

Learn how to use the arts as a tool to work with others in a positive and therapeutic way on this innovative course.

  • Develop your skills in the applied arts as an Arts & Health Practitioner
  • Develop professional and personal skills for fulfilling careers in a wide range of arts, health, social care, and educational settings
  • Gain exciting practical experience through work-based learning and placements with our partner organisations in the community.

The course will give you the opportunity to develop a range of specific and transferable skills that are applicable in a wide range of settings where you will work with people using the arts, or in contexts where engaging with people is a focus; whether this is in employment or further study. You will learn with and from tutors who are experienced practitioners and researchers in the field; as well as our community partners, who will offer a real-world experience, helping you to develop your employability.

If the arts have played a vital role in your own personal development, why not harness your creativity to make a difference in other people’s lives? Our pioneering BA (Hons) Creative Expressive Arts, Health and Wellbeing programme is the only course of its kind in the UK that allows you to apply your skills in art, dance, drama, and music towards making a difference in the lives of others.

This programme offers you opportunities to develop your skills and express yourself in the art form of your choice through specialist studio sessions, performances, and exhibition work. A playful exploration of all art forms will empower you in applying the arts as a tool when working with others to promote physical and emotional wellbeing.

We explore how the arts and creativity can be applied therapeutically in community, voluntary, health, educational, and corporate settings. We also look at different therapeutic principles and the meanings of health and illness in the context of historical, societal, and cultural values, and the role of the arts in meeting personal and community goals and needs.
