The Department of Dramaturgy and Musicology is one of the nine departments at the School of Communication and Culture at Aarhus University. There are about 30 researchers, teachers and PhD students affiliated with the department, 18 of whom are tenured. They teach and supervise more than 400 students of musicology and dramaturgy.

The department is located in the beautiful old barracks on Langelandsgade, where there is a vibrant environment for both teachers and students alongside the other aesthetic and artistic subjects.
