According to the proposed 30-credit program, any interested student can acquire skills in music history and science. The program is geared both towards the history of music as well as the more contemporary issues of musical language, sociology, analysis and aesthetics. 

The course thus provides training which encourages openness and dialogue with today's musical world whilst still providing the student with the rigor of classical musicological university training.

Note :

The following are also admitted onto the course :

- adults who, as part of adult continuing education, wish to work on the musical side of their knowledge.People already in working life, musical or not, who would like to add a musical element to their training;

- students in musical institutions (IMEP, Royal conservatories of music, IAD, etc) who, immersed in musical practice, would like to obtain more theoretical and/or critical training. 

In these two cases, applications will be examined in the form of a file and application letter to be sent to the academic in charge of the program. Training will then lead to a university certificate in musicology.
