MA/MS in Art and Visual Culture

Art & Visual Culture is a rich research field. It covers various aspects of Dutch art history & visual culture. Specialisations are Greek & Roman Archaeology, Western Art History or Cultural Studies.
The research master Art and Visual Culture is specifically designed for highly motivated and excellent students who have an interest in the art, material and visual culture of Europe from antiquity to the present. This master gives you an excellent base for an international scientific career in the fields of Art History, Classical Archaeology or Visual Culture.

You will work in small groups on your own field of interest under the guidance of prominent scholars. Moreover, you will work together closely with students from the other HLCS-research master's specialisations: Historical Studies and Literary Studies. In this way, your own specialisation stands in a robust framework of theoretical and methodological training with disciplinary and interdisciplinary levels.

The unique character of this research master lies in the cooperation of Classical Archaeology, Cultural Studies and Art History. From these perspectives you will study western visual and material culture within a strong interdisciplinary, humanities orientated framework. You will have the opportunity to specialise in the research field of your preference, under the supervision of experts in three sub-disciplines.
