Combined Bachelor in Musicology

The Musicology B.A. degree programme aims to enable engagement with various forms of music using a wide range of content and methodology, taking into account all available academic disciplines. Its essential goal is to present and investigate the various options for the scientific treatment of music. Building on older musicological traditions (such as the musical analysis of a score), the subject matter covers music as a social practice, under the conditions of technological processes, as well as innovative approaches to sound and performance research. At the end of the course, students have the opportunity to undertake in-depth studies in a particular subject area. The course is designed to provide sufficient knowledge to enable entry to a musicological career (e.g. working with concert organisers, journalism, employment at music publishers and record labels) following successful graduation. It also aims to lay a wide specialist foundation suitable for beginning a master s course in Musicology.
