Our research

Research at the Academy of Music and Drama contributes to the development of society, using both artistic and scientific methods. Scientific research creates knowledge about education, teaching and learning in music and aesthetic expression. Artistic research creates socially relevant knowledge and understanding through artistic practice in the fields of drama/performing art and music.

Research projects cover musical and dramatic performance, music education and aesthetic expression, and are often carried out in collaboration with other departments and faculties. The Artistic Faculty at the University of Gothenburg is the only institution of higher education in Sweden with research that covers the entire spectrum of artistic fields.
