The two-year Musikwissenschaft. Geschichte und Vermittlung / Musicology. History and Presentation master's program qualifies you to scientifically approach the subject matter of European-western musical history: the aesthetic subject matter itself, its institutional, cultural context, historical theory construction and - last but not least - the historical variability of what is considered music and what is considered musical art. This occurs primarily in problem and case-based seminars that aim to link research and teaching.
