Department of Musicology

Hello, I'm Nergiz Memişoğlu. I am a student at Anadolu University, School of Music and Drama, Department of Musicology. Our department was established in 2010. The Department of Musicology was established to train music scientists who study the historical process of world music history and the relationship of music with other disciplines. Our department is located in Yunus Emre Campus. In our department, we generally have courses from the main fields of our department, such as Music Schools, Harmony, History of Civilization, as well as Music Sociology, Cultural Anthropology, and Organology. Since our department is a research department, all necessary facilities are provided to students. Students prepare a project together with their advisor about the field they want to work in the future. By graduating from the Department of Musicology, an academic career can be pursued in some institutions and universities, along with professions such as music instructor, music critic and music consultant. Thanks to musicology studies, we can learn how music develops and what its importance is. While I was interested in music, I wanted to improve myself in this field and make a contribution to music. That's why I chose this department. Anadolu University has a successful teaching staff, and I thought it would be very beneficial for my education. I also think that the cultural and social activities that the university organizes frequently will be the right choice for a student. After graduation, I want to continue my master's degree and work on my department and pursue an academic career. I can say to students who will prefer our university and especially our department, that foreign language is very important for our department. In addition, I recommend everyone to benefit from the very successful teaching staff and all the opportunities provided by our university. Good luck to all candidates who will take the exam.
