Study or work with us

Study for your PhD with the Centre for Arts and Wellbeing

We have an astonishing range of opportunities at the University of Brighton for PhD study that crosses between arts practices and issues of healthcare and wellbeing.

Recent successful students have included projects on: community-building design, designing engagement with therapeutic equipment, autoethnography and narrative identity, ethnic identities in photography, drawing practices and conflict zones.

We recommend approaching one of our academics to discuss possible supervision. You might also like to explore the university's PhD programmes and themes related to arts and health.

Work with the Centre for Arts and Wellbeing

Our researchers are always keen to hear of new communities that might benefit from the work they have already modelled or help extend our work towards new understandings wider influence.

We also organise visiting academic places and work with partner academic institutions.
