Overview
With the ArtEZ Master of Music Therapy you gain advanced knowledge and skills in the field of evidence-based music therapy. The courses are carefully designed for the integration of clinical experience, music, research and professional skills; to let them occur simultaneously.
The use of different scientifically informed music therapy models and the specific role of music in the therapeutic context are always explored in relation to your own clinical practice.
Through craftmanship, learning experiences with peers and experts, and personalized coaching, our students build original research projects that are meaningful both to them and to society. Research is at the core of the study programme at the ArtEZ University of the Arts and it starts from day one.
You will investigate the therapeutic role of music and its effect in the topic of your choice. You will learn to set up and to conduct research projects as well as to communicate their impact to lay and professional audiences. Likewise, your personal development as a therapist remains central during supervision and counselling.
