Preparatory Year for Master in History of Art and Archaeology: Musicology [58.0] - MUSI1PM

The preparatory year provides students with a basic knowledge in musicology and opens them up to the world of music, culture and the creation of contemporary music to help them sucessfully follow the Master [60] of arts in History of Art and Archaeology: Musicology [60.0] or the Master [120] of arts in History of Art and Archaeology: Musicology [120.0] .

The programme focuses both on the history of music and on contemporary issues such as musical language, sociology, analysis and aesthetics. At the end of the training, students will have :

• developed an understanding of today’s world of music ;
• acquired theoretical knowledge and methodologies in classical musicology.

Depending on the nature of the course and the teaching activities in question, the evaluation will take different forms. Some courses will involve oral and/or written evaluations (held during one of the three exam sessions), whilst the evaluation of seminars will involve more substantial participation on the part of the student as well as assessment of individual course work. Those exams relating to courses on communication skills will evaluate the student's level, i.e. the practical use of the language in relevant situations.
