As a discipline concerned with the study of music, its development, impact and significance throughout history and in the present day, musicology forms an integral part of the artistic, music education and teacher training programmes at the HMTM. Through seminars, lectures and artistic-academic projects, students acquire the knowledge and skills required for an academically grounded engagement with music, which is always closely linked to artistic practice. Another key focus is the field of Music Mediation (Musikvermittlung). There is also the opportunity to pursue a PhD in Musicology.

The Open Music Academy’s Practical Handbook on »Musicological Research« (in German) covers the basics of academic research methods and offers guidance on writing seminar papers and final dissertations. To prepare for final dissertations (BA/MA dissertations, entrance dissertations), attendance at the seminar »Academic Research in Music« is also strongly recommended.
