Teaching method

Throughout the Bachelor's degree course in art history and archaeology, with a focus on musicology, students are exposed to a variety of teaching methods adapted to different learning objectives: lectures, group work, independent study, seminars, tutorials, oral presentations, field trips, concerts, visits to cultural sites, conferences, etc. Whatever the subject, the courses specific to the discipline are based on different teaching tools, all aimed at active learning. 

Whatever the subject, discipline-specific courses draw on a variety of pedagogical tools, all aimed at active learning. Listening to music is omnipresent. 

A team of teaching assistants is on hand to provide personalized support for students, particularly when it comes to methodological and analytical coursework.

Our teaching focuses not only on classical music, but also on pop-rock, traditional and popular music (ethnomusicology, world music, pop-rock music). Reflection on the very notion of music and the importance of sound in our society is deepened throughout the course, and students are encouraged to forge their own reflections on the "musical" (socio-anthropology of music, philosophy of music, etc.).

A number of specific visits and activities are organized during the so-called "smart week" (visits to the workshops of the Royal Opera of La Monnaie or the Liège Opera; visits to the MIM or other museums; meetings with musicians, event organizers, etc.). And throughout the bachelor's program, numerous scientific excursions, trips and concerts enable students to reinforce the knowledge acquired in the classroom. These outings are programmed by the teaching team in line with the subjects covered and with a view to progression.
