About

The inter-university Master in Musicology at Free University of Bozen-Bolzano is designed to provide an in-depth knowledge of the history of Western music as an art and science. Theoretical and critical reflection in respect of traditional techniques and traditions and also in relation to the other arts, are an integral part of the coursework.

The program offers a structured range of accessible topics, in particular focussed on aspects of historical musicology (directed towards the achievement of knowledge and historical-philological and analytical methods of investigation), pedagogy and teaching of music and musicology (which explores music as a specific feature means of personal development and as a specific subject of education, teaching and research) and musical traditions (through the deepening of knowledge, preservation, management and appreciation of the legacy of cultures in relation to their musical assets), with special emphasis on musical performance and the oral tradition as useful elements for the understanding of theoretical, historical, philological and pedagogical topics.
