The Master's programme in Musicology offers one English master option in Nordic Music.
Nordic Music is an intensive two-year Master’s programme option that invites students to expand their knowledge of music of the Nordic regions and topics related to this music. Join an international group of students in critically engaging with issues of national and Nordic identity, history, culture, social systems, and contemporary thought. From National Romanticism and Grieg, to folk music, jazz, contemporary music and black metal, Nordic Music offers opportunity for specialisation in a wide range of music and topics. Our teaching is closely tied to research in the Department and is delivered by academic staff who are experts in their fields. The programme will equip students with the research skills required to write a dissertation on a topic of their choice within the sphere of Nordic music.
