Are you passionate about music and would you like to better understand it using interdisciplinary methods? Are you particularly interested in its foundations, origins, styles, genres, languages, or modes of expression, creation, diffusion, consumption, or reception?
Several training programs, spanning the 3 cycles, will allow you to deepen your knowledge in one of the fields of musicology, and human sciences in general. In addition to acquiring the foundations of the scientific approach, you will develop the intellectual rigor necessary for the development and realization of a research project. If you wish to combine the singular and exploratory nature of creation with the objectivity and requirements of research, research-creation will allow you to combine these two worlds which influence each other during a project aimed at the development of an original artistic production and a theoretical discourse.
