This study explores how to integrate multicultural elements into the design and implementation of university music curricula, aiming to achieve several key objectives. First, it seeks to broaden students’ musical horizons by exposing them to a wider variety of musical genres. Second, it aims to strengthen students’ cultural identity, helping them gain a deeper understanding and respect for their own culture through learning about music from diverse cultural backgrounds. Lastly, the study aims to enhance students’ intercultural communication skills, using music as a medium to foster exchange and collaboration among students from different cultural contexts. By conducting an in-depth analysis of multicultural theories and considering the current state of university music curricula both domestically and internationally, the paper proposes a series of practical design principles and implementation strategies. These insights are intended to offer valuable guidance for the reform and development of music curricula in Chinese universities.
