The course team and I are looking forward to meeting you. During the welcome week there will be an opportunity to get to know you and what experience and interests you bring as well as what you would like to gain from the course.
You will be part of a creative campus and you will be introduced to existing arts projects and there will be opportunities to engage with these and other creative arts students. Further, Sidney De Haan Research Centre for Arts and Health and Hub for Practice Research in the Arts are part of the University and campus.
