Musicology

Musicology at the Robert Schumann University of Applied Sciences Dusseldorf deals with the foundations, manifestations and modes of action of music and, in particular, conveys their understanding from the combination of contemporary artistic requirements with their conditions of origin and cultural context. The students should gain an overview of this and develop a musical understanding that explicitly takes into account the special interaction of all contemporary music presentations with different technical media due to changed communication requirements.

Graduates in the field of musicology offer career opportunities in the music and media industry as well as in cultural administration and science. They qualify for activities in media companies, music management, publishing and broadcasting, journalism, new media, associations, government agencies and other organizations. The music and media market, which is constantly changing due to a variety of influencing factors, has a high demand for professional communication producers, consultants and observers.
