Welcome to PhD course in Music Therapy
Description:
The goal of the Doctoral Programme in Music Therapy is to train researchers with sufficient theoretical, technical, methodological and applied clinical research knowledge in the field of music therapy research to assure scientific rigor. The 5 ECTS biannual courses includes a rich mixture of course work and aim to cover the following topics of learning: a) Reflexive methodology including data administration and data analysis, b) Objectivistic methodology including data administration and statistical analysis, c) Research ethics and reflexivity, d) Theory of science, and e) Academic writing and dissemination.
The course is announced at the programme website: www.mt-phd.aau.dk
The working methods for the biannual courses consist of workshops, round table discussions, lectures, presentations of research in progress with feedback from the professors and the peer group. The PhD courses are in English. Master’s level music therapy students are invited to the doctoral defences and guest teachers’ lectures. The doctoral students’ presentations are only open to the group of doctoral researchers, professors and to invited guests.
Pedagogically the doctoral program is informed by the principles of Problem Based Learning, offering strategies where the doctoral students learn through peer-reflections and collaborative peer learning and take the role for self-directed and self-regulated learning with problematization as an important driving force. By offering internal courses where the students work with the peer group, invited presenters and the supervisors, a cross-disciplinary and enriching learning community is created where ideas and problems are shared, and where learning has value at an academic as well as at a professional and personal level. The peer group consists of a majority of highly experienced music therapists, but also other professionals, and at all levels of their doctoral training. The newly enrolled student therefore learn from the peers who are at different steps of the research process, and also from the public PhD defences where a committee of three experts discusses and evaluates the research with the candidate.
For full participation in a course 5 ECTS are given. The following areas are covered by 1 ECTS each:
a) Reflexive methodology including data administration and data analysis,
b) Objectivistic methodology including data administration and statistical analysis,
c) Research Ethics and reflexivity,
d) Theory of science,
e) Academic writing and Dissemination.
