Master Arts — Musique

Tuition fees for Master Arts — Musique are 250 EUR per year.

Music as a field of academic study covers performance, composition, musicology, and the historical and theoretical analysis of musical works and traditions. Depending on its orientation, a music master's program can emphasize musicological research — the study of music history, aesthetics, and cultural context — or practical training in performance, composition, and arrangement, often alongside coursework in music theory, ear training, and the analysis of scores across different periods and genres. Students typically engage with a mix of seminar-based study and practical work, examining how musical works are created, interpreted, and situated within broader artistic and social movements. The discipline draws on history, cultural studies, acoustics, and sometimes technology, particularly where music intersects with recording, production, or digital composition tools. The Master Arts, through its Musique track, is delivered by Université Côte d'Azur in Nice, France, over two years, with instruction given in French, a start date in September (inferred), and yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Graduates of music-focused master's programs commonly move into performance careers, music teaching, arts administration for orchestras or cultural venues, musicology research, or roles in music production and cultural programming. Others pursue doctoral research in musicology or continue developing careers as composers or performers, applying the analytical and historical grounding gained during the degree to ongoing creative or scholarly work in music.
