From winter semester 2007/2008, the Institute of Music offers the subject Master of Applied Musicology.

The Master's course in Applied Musicology imparts skills for shaping current musical life (music journalism, music policy, organisation and music management, cultural education, etc.). This includes musical-practical, theoretical-analytical, organisational and communicative skills. During the degree programme, contact is made with the networks and institutions of current musical life in the region.

The Master's degree programme in Applied Musicology qualifies students for academic appointments and leading positions in institutions and project contexts of current musical life. Special attention is paid to the fields of interculturality and music-cultural education.

Institutions, companies, projects and initiatives in contemporary musical life require qualified personnel with flexible interdisciplinary skills. The degree programme qualifies students for the requirements of developing fields of activity: freelance/self-employed, locally specific, globally networked, demand-oriented, culturally diversified, socially aware. The possible spectrum of activities ranges from publishing and label activities, municipal music policy and administration, conception/organisation of music events to music-cultural adult and senior citizen work.
