Master in History of Art and Archaeology: Musicology [60.0]

AnnéesTravail de fin d'étude


Retour en début de pageStudy objectives

The Master in History of Art and Archaeology: Musicology aims to give the student advanced training in methodology and criticism in the field of musicology.

The master aims to provide second level musicology training of a less specialised nature than the 120 course, but just as complete when it comes to learning. As such, it does not include methodological research approaches (applied to the subject of a dissertation).

End of study work consists of taking stock of a given subject, with the critical view and rigour required in university courses.

The programme is made up of :
♦ core courses of 45 credits, including 20 credits for the end of study work;
♦ and one option of 15 credits, to be taken in one of the partner institutions (Brussels, Namur or Liège).

Teaching method

Retour en début de pageStrong points of the pedagogical approach

The master 60 offers original and dynamic teaching: the links with the University of Liège and the higher education institutions IMEP and IHECS have helped us develop a unique set of courses in the French community, geared towards going into more depth on the skills and knowledge acquired during the first level, depending in each case on the option chosen by the student.
Alongside solid university training in musicology, the programme uses resources linked to an active teaching methodology which trains students in careers in music, particularly through internships (links with various Belgian cultural bodies: Théâtre royal de la Monnaie, asbl Flagey, Festival Ars Musica, Maison de la musique de Bxl, MIM, etc.), as well as providing contacts in the worlds of culture and music.
Moreover, the student is called upon to carry out numerous activities 'in the field' (internships, concerts, musical exercises, seminars, study days, etc) which put him in direct contact with current musicology and its associated careers. These activities are subject to continuous, regular assessment.
This master chooses a teaching method in which lectures are accompanied by a range of mandatory lectures. The professor/supervisor of the end of study work also takes on the role of tutor which guarantees intensive, one-on-one follow-up support for the student.

Retour en début de pageEvaluation

The written and oral exams aim to measure knowledge acquired as well as the student's know-how and communication skills.
Some subjects, geared towards helping the student develop skills in research and personal criticism, form the subject of presentations and discussions spread over the year (permanent assessment - seminars).

Courses are evaluated according to current university regulations (see General Examination Regulations). Students may find further information on specific evaluation methods in the course descriptions.
