The acceptance of flamenco as an academic object and its inclusion in conservatories and universities leads us to open and explore new concepts and methodologies in its advancement and research. Flamenco is today a universal art that breaks down the barriers of the strictly musical or artistic to become an expression worthy of a rigorous multidisciplinary and empirical approach.
The Master’s Degree in Flamencology offered by the ESMUC is OFFICIAL and allows you to get to know this art in a global way. It addresses its history and sociology, as well as its most relevant musical aspects. It deals with aspects related to the promotion and management of flamenco, as well as its communication and teaching. It gives us guidelines for conducting research on the flamenco genre, thus contributing to the creation of new approaches to the study of this universal art.
The Master’s in Flamenco is aimed at university graduates or graduates from all disciplines. Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree: preferably in all branches of the humanities, in art history, in history and music sciences, graduates in music, communication sciences, audiovisual communication, etc. Graduates in other university disciplines will also be admitted, studying on a case-by-case basis.
Given the musicological orientation of the master’s degree, it is necessary to have basic musical training.

Depending on the number of credits, each subject has a determined intensive teaching period of (2-3 weeks). Academic periods of the subjects do not overlap. During these periods, professors are available to resolve all their doubts and to maintain the necessary asynchronous contact. During the teaching period, students have access to all the material necessary to develop the master’s degree skills.There is no set school schedule. Each student is autonomous in directing his work rhythm (within the teaching period of each subject). For each subject, the assignments that certify learning outcomes will always have a period of two extra weeks after the end of the teaching period.
