Advanced Subjects

The subject can be from all parts of musicology, such as ethnomusicology, folk music, popular music, music in movies, history of music, music pedagogy and so forth. The subjects offered will vary from semester to semester.

Even if the subjects offered vary, course codes can only be used once. Students who register for a course in which they have already passed the final examination, will thereby register for a retake of an already passed examination, regardless of the valid syllabus/reading list.
