Studying Musicology at the University of Toronto is a scholarly collaboration. Students join a group of mutually engaging and supportive peers and faculty actively invested in the study of culture. They have access to a wide variety of course offerings and research opportunities delivered by instructors of exceptional breadth of expertise.
Regularly held colloquia involving visiting national and international scholars provide students with additional opportunities to learn from and connect with experts in their field. Every year, a visitor of distinction is invited to give the Kenneth Peacock Endowed Lecture, an event students are warmly encouraged to attend.
Support for students encompasses professional development. U of T Musicology graduate students lead roundtables for honing conference presentation skills, inviting work-in-progress feedback, advising on publication practicalities, and providing group-based writing support. The Faculty of Music offers Musicology graduate student teaching and research assistant opportunities. Advanced graduate students sometimes design and teach their own courses.
