Master of Arts - Music - Specialization in Medieval and Renaissance Studies (Thesis)

The School of Music offers the Master of Music (MMus) and the MA in Music. There are two streams: one in performance, the other being musical research.

Performance studies are offered in piano, voice, orchestral instruments, and guitar.

The School of Music participates in collaborative programs in Women’s Studies and in Medieval and Renaissance Studies at the master's level (MA only).

The collaborative master’s in Medieval and Renaissance Studies (MDR) has two goals: • To offer at the graduate level a multi-disciplinary education in Medieval and Renaissance Studies; • To teach students the theoretical approaches and methods of research specific to the study of the period.

Since the 16th century, study of the middle ages implies studying a ‘middle’, or intermediary period, seen as standing between two great civilizations: Roman antiquity and the modern western world. This definition has had a major impact on scholarship, crystallizing a periodization that has now become traditional in most of the humanities.

The School also offers two graduate diplomas, one in piano pedagogy research and another in orchestral studies.
