Musicology is the study of music in its cultural, social, historical and stylistic contexts.

It’s about the way that music 'works'. And not just notes on a page or sounds in a recording. Music also affects individual actions, social behaviour and expression in both Western and non-Western societies.

Our Bachelor of Music (Musicology) takes your contextual knowledge of music to the next level. You will:

  • explore different approaches to music research
  • gain keen aural and analytical skills
  • develop high-level understandings of music history and repertoire
  • analyse live and recorded music
  • build confidence in oral and written communication.
You can also pursue a wide range of studies in other areas. If you’re interested in performance you can take ensemble classes subject to audition.

You could continue on in academia or pursue work in music and arts journalism. You might work for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of fame in Ohio or archive in the Australian Jazz Museum. Perhaps you’ll publish a book about music and acculturation in First Nations communities.
