Media, Art, Design and Architecture is an interdisciplinary programme that integrates four fields of study. In the first year, students follow all courses together. By the second year, you are prepared to choose one of the four specialisations: media, art, design or architecture. In the third year, in preparation of your thesis, you broaden or deepen your disciplinary knowledge. Besides following courses, you can study a semester abroad, take an internship or choose a minor.
Cultural expressions
This structure offers a broad theoretical-methodological foundation and a historical understanding of how cultural expressions come into being. You will develop a critical perspective on the effects of culture on society and on our planet. This enables you to critically explore cultural practices, transforming you into an insightful and informed actor in the cultural field.
Chance to meet artists
You will go on field trips, visit museums and creative incubators, with the chance to meet artists, curators, filmmakers, and designers. How do local creative scenes interact with other parts of the world? And how do global developments affect culture locally? Media, Art, Design, and Architecture opens doors for you to experience and understand these developments academically. Note that this is not a practice-based bachelor.
Starting in 2021, students may choose to follow Media, Art, Design and Architecture entirely in English. For the programme overview and course descriptions, take a look at our study guide.
