Arts and Culture Studies
Are you passionate about culture? Are you the first to get tickets to music festivals, plays and art-house films? Are you ready to join the social and political debate on the arts? Then Arts and Culture Studies might be the programme for you.
Something for you?
- Study at the best Cultural Studies programme in the Netherlands (ranked nr. 1 in national Elsevier ranking 10 times)
- Experience small-scale, interactive and international classrooms
- Enjoy an active cultural life in one of the oldest cities of the Netherlands
- Study a semester abroad or do an internship in the arts and culture sector
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
In the second year of the English-taught Bachelor’s programme in Arts and Culture Studies you will deepen and broaden the knowledge acquired in the first year and choose from a number of electives, focusing on different aspects of North- and South-American and European Culture
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.
Kastu feedback about the program after the visit
- At RU students have to really like to do research, to write and to analyze, because most of the assignments are written.
- RU has free writing classes at which students can attend if they struggle with academic writing (most of the students attends them).
- Students mostly can learn Dutch for free and get 50% discount to learn other languages like Spanish, Chinese or other 15 languages.
- Easy to find a job as a student – lots of shops, bars, restaurants. Student who gave me a tour said all his friends found a job in 2-3 months.
