Visit programme websiteProgramme Structure
Each academic year of this programme consists of two eighteen-week semesters. Each semester has two periods of nine weeks. Each subject is linked to a number of credits, EC (European Credits). 1 EC equals a study load of 28 hours.
The first year introduces you to different forms of art and culture, from the ancient Greeks to the present. We opt for a geographical focus: Europe and America - although cases from other regions are certainly also covered. Because you will immerse yourself in various art disciplines, you will gain a multifaceted perspective on art and culture. You will go out to see art; you will regularly visit museums, theatres and cinemas.
In the second and third year, you will expand your knowledge and explore the subjects you find most interesting. At the end of the third year, you can do independent research and write a bachelor's thesis on it.
