What is the CRASH master’s degree programme?
Creativity and Arts in Social and Health Fields (CRASH) is a multidisciplinary degree programme aimed at professionals in the fields of culture, arts, social and health fields. The students from different professions and educational backgrounds are studying together. The aim of the CRASH program is to strengthen the professional competencies needed when promoting health, well-being, inclusion and a sense of community in society through creativity and arts. Upon graduation, students are able to reflect in a variety of ways on the importance of creativity in human life and to reconstruct working practices from this perspective. The studies are designed to combine expertise from different fields locally and internationally, as well as to strengthen multidisciplinary and international collaboration skills of professionals. As part of their Master’s theses, the students are required to develop their area of professional expertise in an innovative way.
The event is organised in collaboration with the Cultural Wellbeing Research and Education Centre (CuWeRE)
