Musicology

Training socially responsible scholar-musicians of the highest caliber.

We value the many possibilities and pathways for meaningful work.

Our alumni have an excellent placement record in traditional academic positions as well as an array of music-related professions. As part of our program, students participate in an integration of public engagement, scholarship, and music making, while being a part of a national and international network of professional activities.

When entering the program, all students are considered for support in form of research and teaching assistantships and scholarships. Current students then have access to funding for research and conferences as well as a strong record of national and international fellowships and grants.
