Creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship and a global vision are vital to a flourishing arts and culture sector. These characteristics typify not only artists; they are also increasingly important for those who are involved with arts and culture behind the scenes.

At Erasmus University, you are trained to envision new possibilities and establish new models for the organisation of arts and culture using cutting-edge insights on policy, marketing, audiences and education. The Master in Arts and Culture Studies offers the following specialisations:

  • Arts, Culture and Society: you will study how the international world of art and culture operates. Steeped in cultural sociology, you learn to understand the interrelations between the arts and society, using cutting-edge insights in policy, marketing, audiences and education.
  • Cultural Economics and Entrepreneurship: uncover the business of cultural and creative industries and become a leading thinker at the crossroads between art and economics.
  • Tourism, Culture and Society: explore the world through the study of tourism. It’s all about understanding the interplay between tourism, culture and society.

specialisaties

specialisatie Arts, Culture and Society

Are you interested in questions like: What are the interests of artist, audience, and distributors of arts & culture? Then the master specialisation Arts, Culture and Society is the programme for you.

The modern arts and culture sector asks for professionals with indispensable attributes such as entrepreneurial innovation, creative, critical analysis, engagement, and exploration. Do you see yourself become one?

We teach you long-term, higher management thinking and strategy skills that come with understanding the “why” behind motivations, consumption, cultural movements, taste, and more. Arts, Culture and Society gives you the tools to transform opinions into facts, ideas into research, test policies, and understand the social environment through evidence rather than anecdote.

Arts, Culture and Society offers a unique approach that integrates present-day modes of production, distribution and consumption of arts and culture beyond and across national cultural boundaries. You are trained to envision new possibilities and establish new models for the organisation of arts and culture, using cutting-edge insights in policy, marketing, audiences and education.

A special attention is given to digitisation, diversity, innovation, and sustainability - from financial to environmental, social and cultural.

You will acquire the knowledge and skills to identify, frame and address these challenges using a systemic approach and international perspective.

This international perspective is strengthened by the international study environment. Staff and students come from all over the world. This international environment provides a stimulating peer-learning and an exciting world-wide perspective on the cultural and creative industries.

specialisatie Tourism, Culture and Society

Do you want to explore the world through the study of tourism? Then the master specialisation Tourism, Culture and Society at Erasmus University Rotterdam is the programme for you!

What makes a city or region attractive to visit? What role do media play in tourism industries? And how do people experience local culture and heritage? These are just some examples of questions that you will learn to answer during this master specialisation. Join our programme and become a specialist in tourism. We provide you with the knowledge and skills to anticipate and understand the global dynamics between societies, cultures, and tourism.

Tourism has grown into one of the most important industries in today's world economy. The field has become more and more diverse, because of globalisation and digitalisation. This calls for new professionals who possess the knowledge and skills to anticipate and understand the global dynamics between societies, cultures, and tourism.

As a Tourism, Culture and Society student you will study tourism from a multi-disciplinary perspective based on a combination of sociology, cultural studies, heritage and media studies. You will learn to find creative solutions and think constructively about developments within the tourism industry. This interdisciplinary approach makes Tourism, Culture and Society stand out.
