Hide-Unique Aspects of the Course.
Several key factors combine to make the MA in Ethnomusicology at UCC the most popular course of its kind on the island of Ireland. The MA is unique in its emphasis on music performance and music scholarship. In addition, most other taught MA in Ethnomusicology courses are delivered by a limited number of staff, whereas the MA in Ethnomusicology at UCC is delivered by a large, experienced team of diversely skilled international researchers and teachers.
Course Practicalities
All teaching is delivered in small group seminars, ensemble classes and tutorials, and in one-on-one lessons and supervision. You can expect eight to twelve hours of class contact time each week, depending on the ensembles studied, concerts presented and frequency of supervision meetings.
