What you will learn
More and more clinical institutions and therapeutic centers rely on creative therapeutic/artistic procedures with scientific foundations. The focus of the study is the practical training of your therapeutic and musical skills. The theoretical basis is content from medicine, psychology, neuroscience and musicology.
You will learn how to use music in people of different ages to promote their health. You acquire the basics of improvisation, song accompaniment and therapeutic conversation before the first internship. By the second internship, you will then learn how to treat people with specific medical conditions.
Our innovative approach that pays off
The scientific foundations acquired in the Bachelor program Music Therapy in Heidelberg, the methodological competence and the professional field-related qualifications enable you to practice in a clinical or therapeutic or special educational context.
Your modules
The perfect mix of music, psychology and therapeutic practice
Content from medicine, psychology and therapy science form the theoretical basis of your studies. Music lessons in the areas of piano/guitar, percussion and voice as well as the training of your therapeutic skills form the practical basis for your future career in music therapy. You will put your acquired skills into practice in two internships integrated into your studies. The whole program is rounded off by a continuous process of reflection in group self-awareness and supervision.

Our CORE principle
From study straight into practice
In addition to technical and methodological skills, social and personal skills are crucial today. SRH University 's innovative, successful and award-winning CORE principle promotes independent and active learning so that you can apply your knowledge directly in practice - for a clear competitive advantage.
What I particularly like about the course is the combination of theoretical content and practical application, e.g. in role plays or group exercises. This leads to a high practical component in the curriculum and creates a good basis for the two internship semesters.

Music offers the opportunity to connect people of different languages, origins, religions and traditions. On February 3, 2024, the Bridges project team in Heidelberg showed us how successful musical integration can be.
