Thinking and acting as a cultural critic, that is to say applying a reflective and critical approach to society through its past and present cultural and artistic output, is the main objective which students of the Master Degree in Archaeology and History of Art: Musicology are called upon to achieve. In this way, at the end of their programme, students will have an active and integrated expert understanding of a select corpus of disciplinary and multidisciplinary knowledge (awareness, terminology, issues, methods, conceptual frameworks) which is indispensable in order for them to become professionals in the different fields of musicology. Students will be able to study and analyse a work, a corpus, or a particular theme and undertake personal, objective and methodical research dealing with a significant quantity of information in accordance with disciplinary methods and by using a systematic and rigorous approach. Students will demonstrate the capacity to define a research subject and pose a research question, and will show their ability to focus upon a given question on the basis of quality heuristics and by using the principles of documentary criticism. Students will learn to operate independently by managing research and an individual project, and more generally by keeping their knowledge updated. The musicology tutors thereby wish to train actors who are receptive to the cultural and socio-professional worlds who are capable of understanding the cultural world and integrating into it easily and efficiently.
