Abstract
This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of the system for training gifted young scientists in the field of musicology in Türkiye. Undergraduate and graduate programs in universities offering musicology education in Türkiye, their academic structures, career opportunities for students, and the impact of existing educational processes on the development of scientists have been examined in detail. The curriculum structures of musicology departments, the adequacy of course contents, and the theoretical and practical aspects of these educational programs have been discussed, focusing on how this field contributes to scientific advancements in Türkiye. By closely analyzing the educational processes within musicology departments, the study evaluates their position and scientific contributions within national and international academic circles. Additionally, the historical development of musicology education in Türkiye and the current challenges in its structure have been identified, and solutions to address these issues have been proposed. Based on the findings of the research, it is concluded that interdisciplinary collaboration, curriculum development in musicology departments, the expansion of graduate programs, and the improvement of the processes for training scientists are necessary. This study offers significant recommendations for enhancing musicology education in Türkiye, making it more effective and grounded in scientific principles.
