The Master's Degree Program in Musicology aims to provide a broad and differentiated training in methodologies and repertoires, equipping musicologists with the skills to engage in professional activities that require an in-depth knowledge of music history and theory, as well as world music and contemporary popular music. Graduates will also be able to conduct original research in the field and complement their performance or composition skills with a solid historical and theoretical background.
