Dear colleagues,

(With apologies for cross-posting.)

**Graduate Studies in Musicology at Utrecht University**

The Research Group Musicology in the Department of Media and Culture
Studies, Faculty of Humanities, University of Utrecht (Netherlands) offers
two attractive M.A. degrees in Music:

**Musicology (Research MA, 2 years, full-time)** (
http://www.uu.nl/masters/en/musicology) and
**Applied Musicology (MA, 1 year, full-time)** (
http://www.uu.nl/masters/en/applied-musicology)

Students in the Research MA in Musicology
<http://www.uu.nl/masters/en/musicology> are selected from an international
pool of applicants for their potential for research excellence. Graduates
of the program successfully compete each year for PhD positions and have
entered doctoral programs at UC Berkeley, UCLA, University of Toronto,
University of Cambridge, Royal Holloway, Max Planck Institute for Empirical
Aesthetics Frankfurt am Main, Catholic University Leuven, and Utrecht
University. Alumni hold university teaching posts and prestigious
post-doctoral fellowships in the United States, the UK, and the
Netherlands.

Students in the innovative one-year course Applied Musicology
<http://www.uu.nl/masters/en/applied-musicology> are selected for their
potential and willingness to acquire the specific knowledge and skills
required to operate successfully as a musicologist within the international
music industry. The MA in Applied Musicology is designed in direct dialogue
with top institutions within the musical infrastructure in the Netherlands
and beyond; it does not discriminate between classical and popular music.
Students receive intensive mentoring while developing research and
reflective skills relevant to questions in contemporary music production,
programming, financing and participation.

Both programs are conducted in English throughout—unique among Continental
European programs.
