Arts & Engagement - Crawford College of Art & Design

This Masters programme builds on a number of existing Special Purpose Awards all centred on learning through expressive meaning-making: Arts-based Facilitation Training, Creativity and Change-making, Arts and Wellbeing, Eco Arts and Art Therapy.

Admission Requirements The MA in Arts & Engagement welcomes applicants from a range of backgrounds who are interested in:

• Developing their own arts practice in relation to others
• Developing arts-based processes to incorporate into existing work place
• Developing arts engagement facilitation skills Applicants normally require:
• An Honours degree, or equivalent, in Visual Art/Theatre/ Music or a relevant area, with a minimum of an Honours 2.2 (or equivalent) are eligible to apply for the programme. Where graduate qualifications are not in the Visual Arts, for example, Community Development, Social Work or Teaching, evidence of a developing body of current and recent art work is essential
• In certain circumstances mature applicants with professional experience will be considered for eligibility through recognition of prior and experiential learning. What is RPL? Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
