Overview
The PhD in Arts and Health at Brunel University London is a research course that takes three years to complete full-time and six years part-time. The programme helps researchers improve their skills and learn more about how art, music, movement, and drama affect health and wellbeing.
Each student or researcher works with a special supervisor. Students can use the library, apply their research in real situations, and join the Researcher Development Programme (RDP). Through the RDP, researchers will have access to workshops and seminars.
Researchers learn through research training, individual study, working with people in health, neuroscience and the arts, and applying ideas in real settings like hospitals and schools.
Assessment is mainly at the end of the programme. Researchers must plan and complete a project that brings new knowledge or new ways of working. At the end, students take an oral exam called a viva voce, where they explain their thesis.
