MA Arts Practice (Arts, Health and Wellbeing) is based at the Cardiff Campus of the University of South Wales. The duration of the course is 18 months. Teaching begins in September each year and is delivered on campus, one weekend per month. Tutorials are scheduled at intervals between teaching weekends and are held online. In addition to teaching from course tutors, a programme of visiting speakers ensures that students have access to a range of exemplary professional practice.
The MA has a rich history of working in collaboration with a range of partners, echoing the aspirations and professional interests of individuals and student groups. There are opportunities to develop practice and to complete creative projects within three Arts Practice modules, students also complete modules in Research and Development of Creative Practice and Professional Practice within Arts, Health and Wellbeing. Students are expected to arrange their own projects/placements with guidance and support from the teaching team. Our students have progressed to employment as freelance arts practitioners working to commission and within community contexts, work with health boards, charities, local authorities, the education sector and further study. We’re proud to have alumni who now have positions of responsibility in health boards and in advisory roles in organisations such as the Arts Council of Wales. Graduates from this course are actively seeking to improve health and wellbeing through creative engagement and are shaping the future of arts and health strategic development and practice.
