We offer studies at Bachelor, Masters and Doctoral level.
You will be able to study music technology at one of the best performing arts universities of the world. We have a unique learning environment, a multi-skilled, international staff, and high-quality equipment and studio facilities.
Doctoral studies and research represent an important part of the Department of Music and Technology, with about twelve ongoing doctoral projects, and two doctors (Vesa Norilo & Alejandro Olarte).
Our focus areas are: electroacoustic music, experimental performance with electronics, film and game music, live sound in concert settings, media and sonic arts, music and technology: tools, methods and development, music technology pedagogy, recording arts and music production.
The department carries out research in fields closely linked to music creation, performance, and dissemination with technology. In addition, through developments of tools and platforms, the specific needs of experimental musicians are addressed. The center comprises an international and interdisciplinary community of researchers.
Example of an ongoing research: Installation/performance by Charles Quevillon
Artistic activities are an integral part of our studies and research. See our students and staff on stage in Helsinki and elsewhere!
