Music Therapy

Introduction

Every second year in September we welcome a new intake of 20 students for our degree programme, which is taught in German. The part-time Bachelor programme in Music Therapy is a modular programme, with each semester divided into theoretical, musical and practical clinical components. After an introduction to basic theoretical and scientific principles, courses in the first year focus on developing specific music therapy skills. Starting in the third semester, this knowledge is consolidated by its application in clinical practice. Throughout the degree programme we aim to combine aspects of personal development and practical experience with critical theory-based reflection.

Key skills

Music therapy is a distinctive type of therapy which combines scientific, artistic and creative elements in an attempt to stimulate personal expression. It delivers targeted, systematic treatment for people suffering from behavioural disorders and problems resulting from emotional, somatic, intellectual or social factors. Music is used in a therapeutic relationship between one or more clients and one or more healthcare professionals with the aim of:

• preventing, relieving or reversing symptoms
• altering behaviours or attitudes that require therapy
• supporting, maintaining or restoring the client’s development, growth and health

We aim to help you become a fully qualified, skilful music therapist, and your bachelor degree gives you the abilities required to practice music therapy as an employee of a clinical or social institution.
