Department of Musicology and Ethnomusicology organizes three cycles of study – undergraduate (four years), master’s (one year), and doctoral (three years). Students of all the three cycles complete internship and research at the Institute of Musicology. Since 1963 up till now, a total of 60 students graduated, ten students have successfully completed master studies and six the second cycle of studies.
Department also includes the vocal-instrumental ensemble Etnoakademik, whose repertoire nourishes Bosnian and Herzegovinian traditional music, which has been recorded on several compact discs. Work by teachers, teaching assistants and students of the department resulted in the foundation of Musicological Society of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and International Council for Traditional Music – ICTM National Committee in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Present employees of Department include: prof. dr. Tamara Karača Beljak, prof. dr. Jasmina Talam, dr. Fatima Hadžić, dr. Lana Paćuka, ass. mr. Amra Toska.
