Thesis RMA Musicology (2026/2027: Periode 4)
Cursusdoel
After completing this course, the student:
- has learned to carry out an independent research project on a feasible and original research question, resulting in a thesis of between 20,000 and 25,000 words (including notes);
- can use academic skills to investigate the research question;
- is able to synthesize research findings into well-argued conclusions;
- has gained expert knowledge of a particular field of study within the discipline of Musicology.
Vakinhoudelijk
The thesis is the capstone of the RMA programme. The student practices research skills through writing a thesis consisting of original research, produced under the guidance of a research supervisor. The thesis applies the research skills learned throughout the programme to produce a significant piece of original research.
The RMA thesis is a scholarly text in which you contribute, on the basis of independent research, to a debate within your discipline. It is structured around a central research question (set out in the introductory sections) to which it provides an answer (set out in the conclusion). The central research question is clearly formulated at the beginning and its relevance to scholarly discussions within the discipline set out. The body of the text shows how you went about trying to answer this question, why you proceeded the way you did, and what your findings were. In your conclusion you analyse your findings in the light of your original question and explain the broader implications of your conclusions. The thesis is written in correct and clear English; it will normally be around 20.000 words long and should be no longer than 25.000 words (including notes).
