Training, support & teaching
We support researchers and practitioners through training opportunities. Our team members teach and supervise projects on MSc and PhD programmes. We also offer two training programmes around social factors (including the arts) and health:
Arts, Culture and Heritage: Understanding their complex effects on our health
A free online self-directed course. It introduces the knowledge base of how community resources, including arts, culture and heritage activities can improve our physical and mental health and wellbeing.
Arts Health Research Intensive
Our flagship week-long immersive course. The next course will be held 8 – 12 June 2026 at N°17 Conference Venue, St Columba’s Hospice Care in Edinburgh, UK .
We are continuing to develop these offers and any future opportunities will be listed here.
Support for Early Career Researchers
We support early career researchers working on projects at the intersection of the arts, humanities, health & medicine. This includes postgraduate students, researchers, practitioners, artists, and clinicians.
Our activities include events, training, and leadership development to help people navigate this complex research area, develop skills and build new connections. Examples of past projects include the Arts Health Early Career Research Network and EC3R.
Teaching and supervision
Our team supervises or co-supervises several PhD students. You can find more information about our current PhD students and their projects and how to apply to do a PhD within the group here.
Members of our team also teach on a range of BSc and MSc courses at UCL, including the BSc in Population Health Science, MSc in Health Psychology, and the MASc in Creative Health.
