Schubert, the Rolling Stones, or folk music?
Studying Musicology offers a broad perspective on music and in its many forms, styles, and contexts. In the Bachelor's degree program, students explore music from different historical periods and cultures. They learn to describe musical phenomena and place them in their historical, cultural, political, and social contexts. In the Master's degree program, students deepen the knowledge and skills. The focus is on the independent application of musicological methods to clearly defined and, in some cases, self-selected subject areas.
Studying Musicology prepares students for career fields such as music journalism, music publishing, concert and opera dramaturgy, music management in concert, festival, or music theater contexts, as well as music research and teaching.
