Creative Health PG Dip

Gain the skills you need to become a sought after practitioner working at the interface of culture, nature, arts and health. The Creative Health course is the first of its kind in the world, and will enable you to be a changemaker in the rapidly changing health, social care and voluntary third sector. Taught at UCL, you’ll learn from renowned academics who are helping to shape the future of healthcare through the creative health field.

The PG Dip seeks to address growing interest in the emerging field of Creative Health, with a focus on health equity, lived experience, community assets, research-led practice, non-clinical interventions (including social prescribing) and experiential learning.
The PG Dip contributes to creating a new generation of socially engaged scholars and practitioners to meet the needs of a changing health, social care and voluntary third sector, where personalised care and the patient experience are mainstreamed into primary, secondary and community health.

Normally a minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard in psychology, medicine/biomedicine, nursing and other allied health professions, sciences, arts, liberal arts, design-related humanities and social sciences. Professional in the fields of arts, culture and health, or social prescribing, is desirable. An applicant whose qualifications vary from UCL standards may be admitted if evidence of an adequate academic background and in an appropriate field can be shown. Intercalating MBBS/BMBS applicants are welcomed provided applicants have an undergraduate degree (2:1 minimum or equivalent) in a relevant subject.

It may be possible to apply based on having completed three or four of a medical degree programme; candidates wishing to be considered for in such circumstances will be considered on a case by case basis.
