The two-year Master's track in Arts, Media and Literary Studies is a specialization within the Research Master's degree in Arts and Culture.
Arts, Media and Literary Studies equips students with knowledge and skills to become researchers and experts on the role that the arts, literature and media play in society, now and in the past. The programme offers a rich multi- and interdisciplinary framework within which students can specialize in one of the following disciplines or combinations of disciplines, under close supervision of a highly qualified research faculty:
- arts and culture education,
- cognitive studies of arts, media and culture,
- cultural studies,
- digital humanities,
- film studies,
- history of art, architecture and landscape,
- literary studies
- media and journalism studies,
- music studies,
- theatre and performance studies.
Waarom aan de RUG?
- Innovative research perspectives and methods to analyse the changing forms and roles of the arts, media and literature in our globalizing world
- Solid disciplinary profiling, in a stimulating inter- and multidisciplinary framework
- A cosmopolitan and intellectually stimulating learning environment, with highly qualified staff, excellent international research networks and contacts with professional worlds
- Small groups, with interactive, innovative and intensive coursework.
Studieprogramma

Alongside this common core, students build their own disciplinary profile by choosing, in their first year, three or four electives (25 EC in total). They also take a total of 10 ECTS offered by a national research school, which allows them to extend their knowledge to other approaches and establish contact with peers and scholars from other universities.
Students are encouraged to spend (part of) the specialization semester abroad, facilitated by the International Office. For all internships, tutorials and international stays, they can draw on the staff's excellent national and international research networks and on a rich range of contacts with stakeholders, such as museums, cultural institutions, archives, municipalities, educational institutions, regional, national and European institutions and policy makers.
