The Musicology major provides students with the following:
- Understanding of the way that music 'works', not only as notes on a page or sounds in a recording, but as the basis of individual actions, social behaviour and expression in both Western and non-Western societies.
- Understanding of the varied approaches to music research carried out by researchers in the co-disciplines of musicology/ethnomusicology and in related disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, and psychology.
- Development of aural and analytical skills through assessed work in written critiques and analyses of live and recorded music.
- Development of music-specific and general research skills related to planning essays as well as confidence in written and oral communication.
