Overview
This comprehensive course is the longest-established masters in music psychology in the UK. Course tutors Nikki Dibben, Stephanie Pitts, Renee Timmers, Victoria Williamson and Vicki Rowe have each published widely in music psychology and education.
Music Psychology uses psychological methods and theory to interpret and understand musical behaviours, sounds and ideas. The interdisciplinarity of the subject, and its use of a wide range of empirical approaches, offers a unique perspective on music.
Our on-site course introduces students to a wide range of areas including auditory perception, music cognition, musical development, music in everyday life, and musical performance.
Students specialise within an area through a written dissertation, and the pursuit of original research, which generally includes an experimental or observational empirical investigation. Students also have the option to take cognitive neuroscience modules within the Department of Psychology.
