General Information

Musikologie is a BA/MA program that is offered jointly by the University of Graz (Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, also called Uni Graz or KFU) and the University of Music and Dramatic Arts in Graz (Universität für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Graz, also called Kunstuniversität Graz or KUG).

Musikologie is a quantum leap forward in musicology studies. For the first time, a regional center offers both the highest international standards and unusual breadth and choice. Course content spans five focus areas: Ethnomusicology, Jazz and Popular Music, Music Aesthetics, Music in History, and Music Psychology and Acoustics. (N.B.: The previous MA focus area "Pop, Music, and Media Culture" has been merged with "Jazz and Popular Music".)

The BA program comprises 6 semesters (3 years, 180 ECTS). The MA lasts for a further 4 semesters (2 years, 120 ECTS). The yearly teaching semesters last from roughly 1 October to 31 January (“winter”) and 1 March to 30 June (“summer”) in each year. The degrees offered are Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Master of Arts (MA). Students may enroll in either of the two participating universities.
