Do you want to define your own career path in music therapy? Our part-time master programme is a response to the growing demand for independent registered music therapy practitioners.

The degree programme

Our Music Therapy master programme is geared to providing music therapists with an academic education that equips them with professional and research skills. After completing this programme, you will meet all the legal requirements for becoming an independent registered music therapist in Austria.

PROGRAMME AT A GLANCE

The content of our modular programme reflects international standards in music therapy. The Music Therapy master programme runs every two years (2024, 2026, 2028, etc.).


UNLEASHING THE POTENTIAL OF MUSIC THERAPY

What contribution can music therapy make to public health programmes? What significance does interprofessionalism have with regard to the need for specialists in the Austrian healthcare system and what role could music therapy play? What opportunities does digitalisation offer for music therapy in primary care? Ultimately, it is important from a music therapy perspective to recognise the current needs in healthcare to formulate adequate questions and to establish appropriate care measures.

Moderation and process guidance are at the forefront of our didactic concept. Students are prepared to develop, present and implement their own practical and research projects.


HOLISTIC THINKING AS A KEY COMPETENCY

The networking of empirical knowledge, old and new theories and current scientific trends and findings plays a key role here. Independently networking relevant topics and finding creative solutions – this is what students are prepared for on our master degree programme.


IMPORTANT

A bachelor degree in Music Therapy (qualification to register as a music therapist in Austria) is an entry requirement for the Music Therapy master programme.



Our established position within the Department of Health Science’s interdisciplinary environment and links with international and multiprofessional research teams via the Josef Ressel Centre are what makes our master programme unique.
