The second-cycle Master’s programme in Musicology provides students with in-depth knowledge from the field of musicology on par with other international programmes. It encompasses demanding methodological research of music as a historical phenomenon embedded in its current political and cultural context, as well as contemporary discoveries of systematic musicology, which examine phenomena from sociological, aesthetical, psychological and other perspectives in the attempt to outline the universal laws of the art of music. The knowledge acquired in the programme enables students to perform in-depth analyses and evaluations of works of music and of their placement in the relevant historical, social, and spiritual contexts. Special emphasis is placed on knowledge from the field of ethnomusicology and the increasingly expansive commercial music genres. Via independent critical examination of specific issues and through a command of communication and argumentation techniques, graduates are able to resolve even the most demanding issues in the broader field of music culture, working at cultural and other institutions involved in the creation, re-creation, and transmission of music.
Second-cycle study programme lasts two years (four semesters) and has a cumulative worth of 120 ECTS credit points.
