JYU for YOU (S02 E10): Music research, technology and supporting students with Marc Thompson
In today’s episode of the JYU for YOU podcast, we sit down with Marc Thompson, Senior Researcher in Musicology at the University of Jyväskylä (JYU).
Marc’s journey with JYU began not as a researcher, but as a curious student eager to pursue a master’s degree in musicology. In this episode, Marc shares the story of how his passion for music and technology led him seamlessly into a PhD programme, and what inspired him to remain at JYU even after completing his doctoral studies.
Today, Marc is deeply involved with the Centre of Excellence in Music, Mind, Body and Brain, contributing to innovative research in these areas. But Marc’s impact goes beyond research – he’s a passionate educator at JYU, teaching a range of courses that prioritize student feedback, and has even served as the coordinator for the department’s international master’s degree programmes on two separate occasions!
As many students receive their acceptance letters to JYU, Marc takes the opportunity to offer advice and words of encouragement for those who applied to the Music and Science programme.
Curious about what kind of professors teach at JYU? Want to know what drives programme coordinators of our international master’s degree programmes? Interested in how bilingual education works? Tune in and find out!
