There are now 8 music therapy training courses in the UK.  They are listed here and please see the additional pages for each course for further information.

Entry requirements

Each of the post-graduate courses requires a high level of musicianship.  Students are normally accepted only if they have a three year musical training leading to a diploma or graduation from a college of music or a degree from a university.  Very occasionally students who hold qualifications in subjects other than music, e.g. education of psychology, may be accepted if they have achieved a high standard of musical performance.  Assessment of personality and suitability for the work also forms part of the interview.
