BA Musicology (Musikwissenschaft) at Robert Schumann Hochschule Düsseldorf

Musicology at the Robert Schumann Hochschule studies the foundations, forms and effects of music and develops an understanding of music in its artistic, historical and cultural context, including the interaction of contemporary music presentation with technical media. It is studied in cooperation with Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf (HHU) as a supplementary subject (Ergänzungsfach) alongside a core subject taken at HHU.

What you will study

Musicology modules are compulsory in all Bachelor programmes at the Hochschule; as a supplementary subject, students combine Hochschule and HHU courses, with some events counting towards HHU's interdisciplinary elective area. Basic music-theory skills (notation, reading treble and bass clef, general music theory, harmony and part-writing, basic ear training and piano) are the prerequisite for the Basic Module 2 seminars (Music Theory I and II).
