Course summary
Do you want to empower communities through the power of art? Socially engaged practice involves collaboration and participation with people, through co-authored and co-produced activities that helps to define an environment, attitude or experience, and is often defined by the process of these interactions, rather than an outcome. Considering pressing issues such as inclusion, mental health awareness, homelessness, amongst many others enables students of this course to explore a wider variety of real-life scenarios and apply an artistic approach and understanding to developing conversations and debate around these areas with relevant stakeholders within a community.
Artists have a history of using their creativity to highlight the topics that matter to them. If you want to be part of the next generation of socially engaged artists - through either full-time or part-time study - our socially engaged arts practice programme is for you.
EMPLOYMENT
Upon graduating from this socially engaged art master鈥檚 programme, you may choose to pursue a variety of career paths. For example, you could become a freelance artist, working in galleries, prisons, youth centres, hospitals, and schools.
Alternatively, you may take the knowledge you鈥檝e gained and go into teaching, through a variety of formal and non-formal workshop or residency settings. This could take place in primary and secondary schools, further and higher education, prison education, youth clubs, or residential and care homes, to name a few.
As well as that, you will also have a lot of options available from a wider perspective, thanks to the transferrable skills gained during your studies. Being able to research, develop and present ideas to a professional level is a skillset valued by many employers. Additionally, you may decide to continue your practice-based and driven research, supported via MPhil/Phd courses, at the University of Salford.
