Musicology

Our specialist studies in Musicology give you the chance to explore your intellectual curiosity and consider music from a philosophical and methodological point of view.

Musicology is the study of music in a range of musical forms, styles, genres and traditions.

During your studies, you will develop knowledge, skills and practices that provide a basis for independent critical enquiry and research-based writing, as well as the ability and self-confidence to comprehend and present complex concepts.

The musicology and ethnomusicology majors offer you a highly flexible course structure, with opportunities to blend academic and performance-based activities through participation in ensemble and chamber-music activities.

The majors can also offer a pathway to specialised study at honours or graduate level.

This major can be your pathway to a range of employment options within a musical portfolio career, including:

• Music researcher
• Music journalist
• Music critic or reviewer
• Music editor
• Music educator
• Music administrator.
