MA in Art, Psyche and the Creative Imagination is a blended mode MA programme envisioned to offer a transformative learning environment that aims to enrich personal, social and cultural life contexts by exploring the interface between art and psyche and by cultivating a practice of the creative imagination. This is an interdisciplinary programme with an emphasis on depth psychology, informed by the arts and underpinned by the processes of creative imagination. Throughout the programme, students will learn to engage with the unconscious and experience different aspects of the psyche through dreams, imagery, and active imagination, utilising the arts to augment and inform their understanding. This course is ideal for creatives seeking fresh perspectives on their work, and who are interested in fostering a working relationship with the creative nature of the unconscious. It should also appeal to anyone in the healing professions, the creative industries, those with a practice in psychotherapy or counselling and, more generally, anyone interested in Art and Psyche.

 

Note that upon completion of year 1 modules (30 credits in total) it is possible to exit the programme with a Post Graduate Certificate. Upon further completion of year 2 modules (adding up to 60 credits) it is possible to exit with a Post Graduate Diploma. Completion of the 30 credit dissertation/exegesis in the second year then allows for an MA in Art, Psyche and the Creative Imagination.
