BA Arts & Culture StudiesAdd to shortlist
Programme profile
This programme focuses on art in its various forms: fine arts, literature, music, theatre, film and digital media. The approach is both interdisciplinary and multi-medial: you will not only analyse these art forms in and by themselves, but also learn to compare and contrast them. You are invited to explore art and culture from a number of theoretical, historical, political and social perspectives, incorporating European, North American and global views on (the value of) culture.
Programme content
The first year introduces you to the history of the arts (from literature to theatre, music, fine arts and film, and from the classics to digital art), to theories of culture, and to methods of analysis. It also encourages you to consider the question of the importance of art: how to truly appreciate the value of art and culture in today’s society.
The second year broadens the scope and includes modules offering both European and North American perspectives - on popular culture, American music and art, cultural diversity, globalisation, and intertextuality.
The third year deepens your understanding of culture, with three in-depth modules on visual culture and mass culture, and three courses reflecting on different aspects of the culture industry: Popular aesthetics, Screen cultures and The culture of fashion.
