This two-year research master is specially designed for academically talented and driven students, who have a nose for research in sociology, media studies, and arts and culture studies. The research master will train you to independently carry out high-quality research, at the same time giving you the chance to more clearly outline your own research interests, with the help of leading scholars in the field.

More than half of all research master alumni proceed to do a PhD programme after graduation. But the research master is also an excellent steppingstone to a career outside the university, such as in applied social research, cultural policy, and consultancy in the media sector or art world.

Our students go on an exchange to one of our international partner universities in their second year. This is an integral part of our programme because it offers our students the chance to broaden their academic horizon and get first-hand experience with the educational system and research environment of a foreign university. Such international experience has proven to be not only intellectually very enriching, but also to be highly beneficial to our graduates' future careers.

Na de studie

Unsplashed background img 2
More than half of all research master alumni proceed to do a PhD programme after graduation. It sometimes takes time to find an appropriate PhD position and it is to be expected that a considerable number of recent graduates will embark on a PhD trajectory. Graduates of the research master follow PhD programmes in a variety of academic fields, including Sociology, Media and Communication, Public Administration, Geo Sciences, Arts and Culture Studies, History, and Economics and Business.

Beroepsperspectief / arbeidsmarkt

Graduates of Sociology, Arts and Culture Studies, and Media Studies have always been able to find employment in applied research, consultancy or public affairs.
