Arts and Culture Studies focuses on art in its various forms: visual arts, literature, music, theatre, film and architecture, as well as digital media and popular culture. After an introduction to long-term developments in western art history, we zoom in on the art worlds of Europe and the Americas in the past hundred years or so. Our approach is interdisciplinary, comparative and multi-medial: you will not only analyse art forms in and by themselves, but will also learn to compare and contrast them. Students are invited to explore art and culture from a number of theoretical, historical, political and social perspectives, incorporating European and American views on culture. You will learn to discern differences between art forms, and between contemporary and historical valuations of art, as well as how to apply theoretical concepts to analyse cultural phenomena. During the programme you're encouraged to develop your own well-founded vision on art and (popular) culture.

Studieprogramma

opbouwEach academic year consists of two semesters of 18 weeks. Each semester is divided into two periods of 9 weeks, which are concluded with essays, presentations and exams. A number of study points is linked to each subject. 1 study point (EC) equals a study load of 28 hours.
In the first year, you are introduced to various forms of art and culture. In the second and third year, you will expand your knowledge and explore the subjects you find most interesting.
1e jaar During the first year of the English-taught Bachelor's programme in Arts and Culture Studies, you will build a solid repertoire of knowledge about the history of the western arts and discover a plurality of theories about them. In addition, you will acquire the skills necessary to analyse texts, music and images (both moving and still), and you will learn how to reflect on them in academic English.

3e jaar In the third year, theory and practice are combined and you will have the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills to find solutions to social issues of topical relevance. This will be done as part of a minor. We offer a variety of minors on a social theme, varying from gender and other forms of diversity to migration and big data. Choosing one of these themes will help you put focus in your programme, making it easier to set yourself apart from others when entering the labour market.
