The Department of Music strives to develop artistic expression through the mediums of vocal, instrumental and electronic music, along with an understanding of the role of music in culture. It offers a stimulating environment that integrates performing and creative musical activities with a theoretical and critical approach.

Faculty members work closely with students, encouraging them to engage in a wide variety of performing, compositional and scholarly endeavours. These take place not only in the department but also within the university and the community at large.
