Â鶹ԭ´´

As the only provider of arts therapies training programmes in Scotland, Â鶹ԭ´´ (QMU) plays a vital role in the development of the field not only in terms of preparing the new generations of music therapists, but also in terms of research, service development and commercialisation. Renowned for relevant research and knowledge exchange work which focuses on making a positive impact on society, QMU has widely recognised expertise in health and rehabilitation, as well as creativity and culture.

The MSc Music Therapy programme is situated within the School of Health Sciences and the Division of Occupational Health and Arts Therapies, and over the years has attracted students from across Europe and beyond.

In response to the changing needs of the field and of society in general, the arts therapies programmes at QMU have developed a new framework for their work leading contemporary practice, research and education. The framework is based on five pillars: creativity, relational working, psychodynamic perspectives, ecology, and integrity. These pillars are considered alongside the advancement of interdisciplinary collaboration and exchange within an internationally recognised person-centred practice framework.

QMU has become a dynamic hub for music therapy in the country with a growing international reputation. Hosting international music therapy symposia and research days has become a key feature of the University. QMU is also a kind sponsor of the open access journal .
