Programme presentation. The Department of Applied Musical Arts was created in 2012. It trains students of the educational profiles “Music Studies”, “Musical Journalism and Editorial Activity in Mass Media”, “Musical Pedagogics” and “Ethnomusicology” within the framework of the study programme “Musicology and Applied Musical Arts”.

Professional competencies of the graduates provide them with an opportunity to work in every sphere of musical culture: in institutions of further and professional education, national mass media, museums and archival repositories, concert organizations, philharmonics, musical theatres. Actively developing media infrastructures promote great demand for specialists in applied musicology in the capitals and regions of the Russian Federation.

Teaching staff. The Department of Applied Musical Arts is headed by the Doctor in Art History Y.I. Agisheva. The teachers of the Department are motivated and experienced specialists, who conduct research work and combine academic activity with applied musical art practice. This allows students to acquire practical skills, which are necessary in their professional career.
