The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland new MA Psychology in the Arts (Music)

ELIA member, The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland is introducing a new Masters programme: MA Psychology in the Arts (Music).

The MA Psychology in the Arts (Music) has been created for students who want to explore the role music plays within our lives and understand its significance, and influence on the human psyche.

This cross-disciplinary programme is the first of its kind in Scotland, and RCS is the only UK conservatoire to offer a Master of Arts postgraduate degree in this rapidly growing area. It has been developed as a part-time, online blended learning programme to enable students from across the globe to study alongside professional commitments.

Health and wellbeing are at the core of this two year programme. Supported by a team of experienced music pyschologists, you will explore three key areas of music psychology (developmental, performance and social) and associated research skills before embarking on a bespoke negotiated research project. Learn more about the course here.

During this course, students will gain enhanced skills in critical and analytical analysis, communications skills, collaborative and interpersonal skills and organisational and evaluative skills.  Due to the diverse nature of the programme graduates can explore career opportunities in many areas, including: Music and media; Music and advertising; Arts consultancy; and Business.

The UK/international deadline to apply is 30 June 2022.
