Worried an MA Might Be Too Academic?

At the Make Happen Institute, we understand that creativity doesn’t thrive in the confines of traditional academia. That’s why our MA in Creative Practice is anything but conventional. It’s crafted for those who wield a paintbrush, a camera, or a script with the same ease as others wield a pen for essays. If you’ve hesitated to pursue further education fearing a deluge of dissertations and academic drudgery, worry no more.

Here’s What Makes Us Different:

No Dissertations, Only Creation: Your graduation project isn’t about writing thousands of words on what others think about art; it’s about making art that speaks for itself. You will be assessed on your creative projects, reflective diaries, and portfolios – the real meat of your creative practice.

Experience Counts: Our programme is sculpted for those with a rich tapestry of creative skills and experience, not necessarily academic accolades. We believe your portfolio speaks louder than grades or test scores.

Academia Meets Practice: For those who delight in the academic realm, there’s plenty of room to dive deep into the theory behind creative practices. But here, theory isn’t just to be pondered upon; it’s to be applied, tested, and sometimes, challenged through your creative work.

Become a Master of Creative Practice: Whether you’re aiming to hone your skills for your personal creative pursuits or to guide and inspire other creatives, our MA programme is designed to crown you a master of your craft.
