Description

In the advanced studies in musicology, you learn about selected special questions of musicology that emphasizes the empirical method, and you deepen your research skills by focusing on a specialised research method that supports your Master's thesis. Students interested in applied research can also choose studies emphasising art therapy research methods and the well-being aspects of art. Working life skills are strengthened through on-the-job learning and Master's studies portfolio work. There is also the possibility to include a longer internship at home or abroad.
