Musicology
On this website you can find the information you need when you do the Research Master's programme in Musicology. If you are you planning on registering for this Research Master's programme, please follow the links below.
The Research Master in Musicology offers advanced research training and academic insight into the theoretical and artistic principles that underlie the manifestations of music in different historical periods and cultures, and into the contextual circumstances that shape and influence the production, distribution and reception of music.
Musicology as practiced at Utrecht University today focuses on Western music from the Middle Ages to the present. Although the emphasis, in teaching and research, is on historical rather than systematic musicology, there is a strong tendency to integrate the attainments of both approaches. The programme actively strives to be at the forefront of intellectual innovation while maintaining its connexion to the tradition of musicological research at Utrecht University.
