Student review [#39132] for Creative Arts Practice
at Queen Mary University of London - QMUL

Queen Mary is one of the more culturally diverse and inclusive universities of the UK, especially considering the London area, in addition to being a centralised Russel Group university. The MSc in Creative Arts and Mental Health are definitely unique in its take on the intersection of the two fields, putting it in the world top for what’s often considered to be an “alternative take on well-being”. However, it equally tackles the artistic industry and how we may help change it for the better. The MSc is barely 5 years old, and though the course content strives to reflect the times it’s taught in – there’s potential for a more steady base of knowledge or “identity” for the course. It’s framework and trajectory can appear vague and broad, as its flexibility and openness to individualisation from time to time becomes too good an asset. Thus, requiring the students themselves to know what they want to put into the work and what they’d like to learn and achieve from it – to a greater extent. Much like other postgraduate studies, it hold one accountable and requires a lot, other than academical skills.
