Musicologists often pursue further research and become experts in a particular subject area or teach at a tertiary level.

However, the skills gained within musicology – such as research, critical thinking, communication and public speaking – are transferable to a range of industries and occupations:

• arts administration and management
• music critic
• music journalist
• musicologist and/or subject expert
• private tutor
• museums/libraries (curating, archiving, and preserving instruments, manuscripts, photos, documents, and letters)
• university lecturer.
