The music theory course is an advanced course that trains students either to teach music theory up to university - level or to conduct research.

Music theory is a branch of knowledge in its own right, but one with links to numerous fields in science and the humanities: musicology, philology and historical studies from many different angles, aesthetics and philosophy of art, psychology of perception, cognition, acoustics, communication theory, linguistics and mathematics.

Music theorists with specific training in teaching can teach at conservatories and universities of music, where they will be in charge of general music training (classes in the writing, analysis and history of music).

Those with specific training in research can work on independent projects or at specialised institutions.
