The one-year Master of Arts in Music and Cultural History provides an innovative approach compared to traditional musicology graduate programs, bringing together world-class scholars to blend established and modern academic approaches.
Throughout this program, you'll gain essential musicological competencies, from research methods to musical text analysis and critical editing. You'll also explore cutting-edge developments in music scholarship, including:
investigations of political themes,
gender and sexual identity in music
racial and ethnic dimensions in music
disability studies in music
music's relationship with other art forms
global musical influences
current trends in popular music and culture, and
emerging connections between musicology and fields like film studies, cultural theory, postcolonial studies, and philosophy.
This MA program delivers a comprehensive yet specialized foundation in modern musicological methods and debates. It enables you to broaden your musical knowledge, engage deeply with critical theories, and develop crucial research capabilities.
