The masters program is aimed at students who have a high level of competence as instrumentalists/vocalists or composers and music theorists for whom research is a central part of their artistic profile. The core of the program is an artistic-academic research project, which the students develop based on questions which emerge from their artistic practice. The work is supervised by two mentors from the broad spectrum of lecturers at the Hochschule für Musik (HSM) Basel including the institutes of Classical Music, Jazz and the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. This project work is supported by courses that impart knowledge and skills, especially in the areas of artistic-scientific research methods, like musicology, academic writing, music aesthetics, and research management as well as further developing the students' artistic work. To this end, internships in the school’s research departments or partner institutions (such as the Department of Musicology at the University of Basel or the Paul Sacher Foundation) give students an in-depth insight into research practice. The curriculum is compiled according to the requirements and objectives of their respective projects, thus enabling targeted and individual support. Additionally, research funds can also be applied for via a project fund.
The MA SP Music and Research is conducted inter-institutionally (HSM in collaboration with the Department of Musicology at the University of Basel among others) and is suitable for students interested in pursuing a doctorate (artistic-scientific doctorate or Dr. phil.).
