Department of Music

Our department - past and present

At the Department of Music (IMU), we offer a wide range of education paths within music, ranging from performance-focused professional training in classical, church, and jazz, to studies that combine performing and reflective disciplines. Across various genres and fields, we delve into what music and movement have been, are, and can be for humanity.

In Trondheim, we have been educating musicians and other music professionals since 1911. Over these more than 100 years, we have developed a strong and internationally recognized academic community that provides diverse educational opportunities within music.

Our department was established through the merger of the Department of Musicology (1962) and the Music Conservatory in Trondheim (1911) on September 1, 2002. The Department currently comprises approximately 150 staff members and around 500 students, spanning the fields of musicology, dance studies, music technology, and performing music. As part of a comprehensive music institute, musicology and music technology at NTNU are practical-esthetic disciplines involving artistic practice.

Social mission

The Department of Music is committed to educating musicians, music and dance scholars for the music industry, cultural sector, education sector, and public service. Our graduates should be able to use their artistic background to influence discussions in public debates, and they should know and be able to convey why music and dance are essential aspects of a meaningful human life.
