For those drawn to expressive arts and the power of creativity to enhance wellbeing, the Creative and Therapeutic Arts program offers a pathway to build your professional skills for community and educational environments. Whether your focus is fine arts, design, crafts, or community-based creative initiatives, this course covers diverse artistic fields. Learn from leading practitioners in therapeutic arts who will equip you with hands-on experience in collaborative creative work. The program features three key components - artistic practice, professional placements, and theoretical study - designed to help you integrate these elements into your development as an arts practitioner.
Career paths include roles in education, healthcare, and community arts organizations. This degree also serves as a stepping stone to advanced studies like the MA in Art Psychotherapy (leading to HCPC registration) or the MA in Arts Practice (Arts, Health and Wellbeing). Graduates have successfully launched independent practices and creative enterprises alongside pursuing further academic qualifications.
