Target group

The study of Musicology at the JGU traditionally conveys a broad access to the subject, consistently integrating the sub-disciplines of the subject, which links the academic training with practice-oriented elements, as well as expanding on and reinforcing Musicology using a decidedly cultural-historical orientation. The central concept of the Master's degree course in Musicology exists in a clear theoretical and application-oriented consolidation of essential core competences of musicological thought and work, as well as a broad placement in cultural-historical subject and methodological discourse.
