Overview

About the programme

The study environment for doctoral students is shaped to a large degree by the multidisciplinary structure of the Department, where Musicology constitutes one of six research disciplines (the others being Ethnology, Art History and Visual Studies, Film Studies, Gender Studies and Cultural Studies).

This environment at the University of Gothenburg is further characterised by the supervisors’ varied research interests and orientations, as well as the various types of seminar that the Department offers.

Added to this are also various national and international networks, centres of excellence and other forms of collaboration across disciplinary and institutional boundaries, with which the Department and its supervisors are involved.
