What is Music, Mind and Technology?
Music is ever-present in the modern world and affects people’s lives
strongly in various ways. Many people spend a considerable amount of
time daily listening to music, or playing a musical instrument. Music
can affect and regulate our mood and emotions, and can be used as a
therapeutic medium. It has also been found to be important for the
development of children. Modern research and technology enable us to
study such effects of music.
Music, Mind and Technology is a Master’s programme that leads to the
Master of Arts -degree. The programme, established in 2005, aims to
acquaint you with the main areas of contemporary research of music
perception and cognition, to familiarize you with the methods and
equipment used in various applications of music technology, and to
provide you with the skills needed for designing, executing and
reporting empirical investigations. The latest technology, and recently
completed studio facilities, will be utilized on this programme. The
programme consists of 120 ECTS credits requiring two academic years of
full-time study. The language of instruction is English.
