Description/content

Arts and Culture (research) (MA) The Arts and Culture research master at Leiden University is unique in offering a two-year programme that integrates art history and theory with literary studies and media studies. About the programme Learn the newest insights from the researchers who uncover them. The master’s programme in Arts and Culture (Research) is closely connected to the Literary Studies (Research) master. Year 1 Semester 1 The first semester starts with the LUCAS Seminar Cultural Theory for the 21st Century, which offers an overview of theoretical approaches developed in this MA programme, and of the research interests of the staff. It is compulsory for all students in the Research MA programmes in Arts and Culture and Literary Studies.. Parallel to this course you choose an interdisciplinary (period-bound) and a disciplinary seminar (in one of the domains). Semester 2 Whereas the first semester presented a basic and disciplinary course for art history students, the second semester offers the interdisciplinary framework via the course Methodological Concepts in Art and Literature. This semester also contains an interdisciplinary (period-bound) and a disciplinary seminar. Research School course In the first year – preferably in the first semester – you are obliged to take a 5 ec course within one of the national research schools. Year 2 Semester 3 The third semester offers an obligatory thesis seminar and research colloquium, which prepares you for writing your thesis. You again take two elective seminars. You can also opt to follow these electives at a university abroad or choose to do an internship in an affiliated Department, Museum, or other cultural institution in Europe or the United States. We have Erasmus and other exchange agreements with many European and American Universities. Semester 4 The fourth semester is largely filled by writing your research master’s thesis. In the second year – preferably in the second semester – the students are again obliged to take a 5 ec course within one of the national research schools of their choice.

Accommodation Yes
Accommodation Details Like many universities in the Netherlands, Leiden University does not have a central campus or student dormitories. Instead, our faculties are spread throughout the cities of Leiden and The Hague and students live in accommodation rented via housing organisations and landlords. In general, students are expected to arrange their own housing. However, for international students, Leiden University Housing Office reserves a limited number of rooms each year for early applicants. The number of housing applications always greatly exceeds the number of reserved rooms. We therefore strongly recommend that prospective students also explore alternative ways of finding accommodation well before arriving in the Netherlands.For more details please check here*https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/education/international-students/prepare-your-stay/housing
