About the course

The programme is delivered by staff with strong international research reputations, active as scholars, performers, and composers. Their diverse expertise includes areas such as: music and film, opera studies, source studies, European art music in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, music in Ireland, ethnomusicology, popular music, music, gender and sexuality, analysis, and more. Beyond the modules, seminars and showcase outlined in the Course Structure, MA in Musicology students may also attend conferences, concerts and other events that Music Department staff regularly organise. Students also benefit from a first-rate library, access to the Universitys language courses and proximity to Dublin, enabling access to a further range of research libraries and archives.
