1e jaar In the Master's programme in Arts and Culture, it is not only the art object itself that is key; the commissioner of the work and the reactions of the public also play a central role. A binding theme is the effect of works of art on the viewer and the ways in which the medium of art works contribute to this.

This broad approach ensures you become familiar with different methods and allows you to connect with other disciplines such as anthropology, natural sciences, and international studies.
