Overview

Throughout this Arts and Culture Studies course from Radboud University you'll:

  • Experience a personal approach during the small-scale teaching at the Faculty of Arts. The inspiring lecturers ensure an interactive study atmosphere in each seminar. 

  • Study in the oldest city of the Netherlands while being a short train ride away from cultural cities such as Cologne and Amsterdam. Nijmegen is also a vibrant place to enjoy art, music, and film festivals. 

  • Enjoy an active cultural life by putting your knowledge in practice. You will host presentations, participate in cultural excursions and visit cultural events.
  • Radboud University offers you the opportunity to study a semester or do an internship abroad as part of your Bachelor’s programme.
  • During your studies, you are already preparing for the job market through practical assignments, such as setting up an exhibition or making a podcast or documentary. You will also practise with forms of writing other than academic essays, such as infographics, interviews and opinion pieces. 
  • You will acquire fundamental knowledge of many different arts disciplines: art, literature, music, film, television, theatre and new media. You will approach art and culture from a historical perspective as well as from contemporary critical approaches.

Career opportunities:

  • Consultant in art education for a heritage organisation

  • Programme developer for the media industry

  • Cultural policy-maker for the government

  • Festival organiser

  • Webmaster at a museum

  • Journalist for a newspaper or magazine

  • Researcher at a university or research institute

  • Tourist destination developer

Programme 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.
