Course summary

Our MA Music Therapy course is the only blended learning course running in the UK. It is designed to be accessible and broaden access to the Music Therapy profession. We want to support you to develop into the Music Therapist that is the right fit for you and your clients.

This innovative, blended MA Music Therapy is accessible to musicians from a range of backgrounds who wish to pursue this career path alongside portfolio careers, performance commitments or caring responsibilities. We empower students to recognise the approaches which resonate with them and is meaningful in the context of their lives and experiences.

The MA Music Therapy is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Teaching

The MA Music Therapy course is delivered as a blended learning curriculum. This means that you will be on campus approximately every fortnight for a day packed full of practical activities and discussions. Material will is provided online in a range of formats, and you will need to engage with in advance of the on-campus days.

Assessment

Assessments are varied in type, with some offering a student choice of assignment so that you can choose the one best suited to your preferred submission style. We have some written essays, presentations, practical musical assessments and portfolios of evidence of your learning.

CAREERS

Once graduated from this course students are eligible to apply to the HCPC for registration as a music therapist. This opens a range of possible careers. We have very high levels of graduate employment from our course, with USW alumni working in schools, NHS, charities, project-based work for local authorities as well setting up their own businesses.

There are opportunities all over the UK music therapy work, so whether you want to stay local to where you currently live or venture into a different part of the UK, the world is your oyster.

Graduates can also progress to a PhD or research degree.

Students progress into a wide range of roles and career trajectories following their studies at USW. Recent graduates have progressed to PhD study, to set up their own businesses, to local, national and international music therapy posts, to work for charities or organisations or to create roles within other organisations. Some students conduct music therapy related practice within other roles such as school-based counselling services, mental health practitioners, wellbeing practitioners. Some combine arts in health practice, music therapy and performance in a successful portfolio career.
