Masters (Coursework)
Give back to the community through dance and drama with industry training.
The Master of Creative Arts Therapy is a unique blended learning program offering you a specialisation in either drama or dance movement therapy. You will undertake supervised industry placements in various contexts including community, health and education.
The creative arts therapies are a form of psychotherapy utilising creative modalities, including drama, dance, music and visual art-making within a therapeutic relationship to improve and inform physical, mental and emotional well-being.
The course provides you with studies in theory, methods, research and professional practice across health, educational and community contexts.
