Musicology (B.A.)

The HfK Bremen offers Musicology as a compulsory subject for all degree programmes. There are specialised events for Jazz and Early Music, such as music and cultural history and (especially for Early Music) source studies. Musicological doctorates are possible in the area of artistic research as part of a PhD pilot project and in cooperation with the University of Bremen with the academic degree of Dr. phil.
The University of Bremen also runs a programme for Bachelor in Musicology in cooperation with the HfK. Since both the historical and systematic branches are represented at the University with their own chairs, both institutions offer a wide range of musicological offerings and options for specialisation.
