Postgraduate Study

Course closed for this cycle: Education (Arts, Creativity & Education) is no longer accepting applications for this cycle. It is expected to re-open for new applications in early September.

Having been a secondary art teacher for almost ten years, the ACE course instigated an in-depth, contemporary and challenging upheaval of my teaching practice. With ACE's strong focus on creative practices that work through, with, and among ethical considerations, I have returned to secondary teaching equipped with a theoretical framework fit for the teaching of art in the current time

This course offered me revolutionary insights into what creativity is and how creativity bridges education. In a sense, this MPhil program is a lifelong process for me to learn and explore, as the fundamental philosophy of it ‘intra-acts’ with many aspects of my personal development.

ACE totally transformed my academic perspective, it enabled me to build on my ideas and previous experience in exciting ways I hadn’t previously imagined. The best thing about the course for me was the space it gave to explore, the diverse lectures and constant support of the tutors helped me delve into new academic territories to discover and develop my own interests
