Study our part-time masters from anywhere in the world. Through blended or fully online learning, develop your knowledge, dive into the core of music psychology and explore the impact of music in everyday life.

This MA programme is for people with a strong interest or established practice in music. It can be studied as blended learning (online and intensive weekends at RCS) or fully online. This programme will develop your thinking and encourage your curiosity about the role music plays in our lives. You will gain a rich understanding of its significance and influence on the human mind.

Over the 2-year programme you will be supported by the RCS music psychology team to explore three key areas of music psychology: developmental, performance and social. In addition, you will develop robust research skills before embarking on your own bespoke research project.

The programme is designed to fit alongside professional work schedules, with flexible lecture and seminar times to ensure no matter where you are in the world you can attend and feel part of this growing community.

We are looking for individuals from all walks of life ready to challenge their perceptions, explore the intersections of music and psychology, and make a positive impact on the world. You should be open to new and diverse views and be hungry to be part of the next generation of dynamic creative practitioners, looking to shape the future of music psychology.

We warmly invite you to come and join our diverse and international community of learners.
