In this doctoral colloquium, the PhD students of the Graduate Institute of Musicology are required to offer a one-hour presentation on the current state of their dissertation research, with the preparation of this presentation to be supervised by each student’s adviser. All of the students participating in this colloquium should actively engage in discussion on each presentation (expected to last a further hour following the presentation). Doctoral students must enroll in the course at least once during each academic year up until the completion of the PhD degree.
