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.
