About the Department of Musicology
The Department of Musicology at Uppsala University is the oldest musicology department in Sweden. The music scholar Carl-Allan Moberg (1896-1978), who got his PhD in 1927, was installed as the first professor in musicology (the field was originally called music research) in 1947. Today, the field is represented at a number of universities across the country.
