MSc Music Therapy

Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh

We welcome enquiries and applications from people interested in how music, persons and health interact.Applicants usually hold an honours degree or a comparable professional qualification. Valuing music in your own life, and showing an interest in what music can offer in relationship with others, is important.We are interested in flexible musicianship and a fundamental ability to listen openly to your own and others music. You do not need to be able to read Western musical notation, hold musical grades, or play specific instruments. We are committed to enabling and widening access for musicians from all backgrounds.Having at least one years experience of relevant work experience with persons in the community, education or health settings is also important. Lived experience is a huge asset; please get in touch with the team if we can do anything to support you in applying.The course is intentionally demanding and will stretch you in personal, musical, and theoretical ways. We imagine you will be able to reflect constructively, have strong self-awareness, an interest in music and people, and a curiosity about yourself.
