PLEASE NOTE Before reading further on this page please see the message on our Training and Education homepage. The Master of Music Therapy programme is being revised during the period 2009-11, and there will be no entry to the programme in September 2010. The revised programme will incorporate many of the aspects described below, whilst also being more accessible to musicians with relevant experience. We hope the following programme description will serve as a guide to the overall Nordoff Robbins training approach. |
Master of Music Therapy
The two year full-time Master of Music Therapy (MMT) programme equips students to become full members of the music therapy profession, with a well-regarded professional, research and practical training.
The MMT programme is based at the Nordoff Robbins London Centre and validated by City University London. It meets the requirements for Registration to the Health Professions Council in the UK and graduates qualify for membership of the Association for Professional Music Therapists (APMT). Without this recognition it is impossible to practise as a music therapist in the UK. Qualified music therapists go on to work in the fields of health, education, social services and the prison service, and many graduates also do research.

The Nordoff Robbins MMT training is in line with proposed standards in Europe that are currently being developed by the European Music Therapy Confederation and international candidates often make up part of our student body. We are known for the highest clinical and research standards and all students over the past years have found paid employment after graduation.
