Why study Music Psychology?
Music psychology examines how people think, feel and behave in relation to music. It helps you to understand music from diverse perspectives, including the scientific study of the human mind, brain and behaviour, emotion, learning and development, and social interaction, through to the everyday uses and therapeutic applications of music. You will learn how music and related psychological processes operate in larger socio-cultural contexts, and experience connections with the world beyond the University. The music psychology extended minor develops critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills that transfer usefully to other domains and contexts. Pathways for graduates include practical application of knowledge and skills in music practice, educational, therapeutic and organisational contexts, and postgraduate study in allied music psychology fields.
