General
information
Musicology
in Graz is a Bachelors and a Masters program that is
offered jointly by the University
of Graz (Karl-Franzens-Universität
Graz) and the University of Music and Dramatic Arts in Graz
(Universität für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Graz,
aka
Kunstuniversität Graz).
Musicology in Graz (in German:
Musikologie) is a quantum leap forward in musicology studies.
For the
first time, a regional centre offers both the highest international
standards and unusual breadth and choice.
The duration of the
Bachelor program is 6 semesters (3 years, 180 ECTS credits). The
Masters program lasts a further 4 semesters (2 years, 120 ECTS
credits). Teaching is confined to two semesters, which last from 1
October to 31 January (winter semester) and from 1 March to 30 June
(summer semester) in each year. The degrees offered are Bachelor of
Arts
and Master of
Arts Students may enrol in either of the two participating
universities.
All students in the
Bachelors program receive a thorough grounding in five main
musicological subdisciplines. The subdisciplines are:
•
historical musicology (Musik in der Geschichte)
• jazz and
popular music (Jazz und Popularmusik)
• ethnomusicology
(Ethnomusikologie)
• music psychology and acoustics
(Musikpsychologie und Akustik)
• musicaesthetics
(Musikästhetik)
The only prerequisite for admission to the
Bachelors program is high school matriculation or equivalent (e.g. A
levels in the UK, Abitur in Germany). There is no additional entrance
examination. Practical musical skills are recommended but not
mandatory. The prerequisite for entry to the Masters program is a
Bachelors degree in Musicology or equivalent from any
university in
the world. Students holding a Bachelors degree in another discipline
may be required to pass additional units before being admitted to the
Masters program in musicology.
