Choose a subject you want to focus on.
Study for a highly rewarding career as a music therapist at the only postgraduate programme in Music Therapy offered in New Zealand. Learn how to use music to support the development and wellbeing of people with emotional, intellectual, physical or social needs.
Work in small groups to problem-solve and discuss theory and practice. Study a range of theories which are the basis of music therapy all over the world and learn from teachers who take a ‘hands on’ approach to ensure you get the necessary practical musical and clinical experience you'll need in the field.
The University offers a style of learning that provides diverse experiences, is modern in its approach, and is well supported by incredible staff. I also worked alongside wonderful and interesting students who are as passionate as I am about music therapy.

This programme was developed in association with Music Therapy New Zealand. You'll graduate fully prepared to become a registered music therapist.
