This might include simply having attended arts classes yourself or having volunteered to assist in arts education settings, or you may be experienced in some form of arts-based teaching or facilitation. We are looking for students who are actively interested in creative arts education; we aim to start with your own experience and to develop this through the course. *Accepted social science subjects include: Anthropology Archaeology Area and Development Studies Criminology Demography Development Studies Economics Economic and Social History Education Environmental Planning Human Geography International Relations Law Linguistics Management and Business Studies Media and Communication Studies Philosophy Politics and International Studies Psychology Science and Technology Studies Social Policy Social Statistics, Methods, and Computing Social Work Socio Legal Studies Sociology We welcome applications from students who hold qualifications and degrees that are not in education.
