FACTSHEET MASTER’S PROGRAMME
A P P L I E D M U SI C O L OG Y Dear Students, On behalf of our staff members, professors and professionals alike, we would like to cordially welcome you to our Master’s programme Applied Musicology. You’ve chosen a hands-on programme in which you will improve your academic and methodological skills, and broaden your horizon on urgent and crucial matters within the musical infrastructure in the Netherlands as well as in an international perspective. The programme Applied Musicology offers the specific knowledge and skills required for a musicologist to successfully operate within an international musical practice. In this factsheet, you will find the institutional information required for understanding the curriculum (who’s who?, courses, internship, thesis); the library and the faculty systems such as Blackboard, email accounts, the use of Osiris and the like, as well as the university’s codes of conduct and moral behaviour. For our part, we wish you all a successful, intellectually challenging and, most importantly: a hugely musical year! We are situated in the centre of Utrecht. Our city hosts a wide array of concert venues which the programme is also allied to. Primus inter pares is without doubt the TivoliVredenburg concert hall complex, whose five stages not only offer classical symphonic and chamber music concerts, but pop and jazz as well, not to mention all other possible musical styles, new and old. This concert hall complex mirrors our programme in that sense: we do not discriminate between genres or styles and our ambition is to be highly involved within our societal surroundings. We keep a keen eye on the job market and offer not only high-profile professors, but also highly skilled professionals and decision makers active in the musical practice. Our slogan is therefore:
PROF. DR. EMILE WENNEKES
is Chair Professor of Musicology: Music and Media and co-coordinator of the Applied Musicology Master programme.
Applied Musicology: Getting to know the music scene; letting the music scene get to know you! See you soon, Prof. dr. Emile Wennekes, Programme Coordinator
