MRes Creative Arts and Mental Health
The MRes Creative Arts and Mental Health is a pre-doctoral training programme designed to provide a critical, research led approach to the study of arts for mental health, which include social science research into applied arts projects as well as socially engaged arts practices. The programme will also deliver training in the key research skills appropriate for doctoral level study. Alongside two substantive modules offered in conjunction with the MSc Creative Arts and Mental Health, the programme includes core modules in research design, and qualitative and quantitative methods, taken jointly with social science students from a range of disciplines across Queen Mary, Kings College London and Imperial College as part of the training offered by the ESRC funded London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership.
The MRes Creative Arts and Mental Health is an approved pathway for ESRC funding, enabling students to apply for ESRC 1+3 funding to cover both the MRes and a PhD, and successful MRes graduates to apply subsequently for ESRC +3 PhD funding.
You may have to pay for entrance charges and travel for performances, exhibitions and field visits, although such costs will be kept to a minimum. Set books are usually available through the library, but you may wish to buy your own copy in some instances.
