The Music, Aesthetics and Society Certificate Program is an international program taught in English, designed to offer up-to-date knowledge on conditions and topics that affect the governance and operation of the music sector of today. Classes include topics on areas such as music aesthetics, curating, programming and artistic planning, cultural policy, cultural diplomacy, cultural democracy, sustainability, diversity, music psychology, music careers, music in a transdisciplinary context and in relation to areas such as archives, architecture, or games.
