About Arts, Culture and Media, Bachelor Degree - at University of Groningen

Are you fascinated by films, music or theater? Do you love to discuss what art is, or how to interpret a particular movie, popular song or performance? Are you interested in studying the effects of arts and media on society?

In our Bachelor's programme students acquire a deepened analytical, historical and theoretical understanding of (a) two art forms chosen from film, music, theater/performance, visual arts or literature; and (b) specialized scholarly knowledge in one of two frameworks: ‘ Arts, Policy and Cultural Entrepreneurship ' or ‘ Analysis and Criticism.' This broad multi- and interdisciplinary combination is unique to the programme. The programme will train you to study artworks, from novels and music videos to films and computer games, in a scholarly way - examining how they are produced, distributed, used, perceived, appreciated and socially embedded. It thereby paves the way for a variety of professional avenues into the field of arts and media. In our programme students enroll in one or two of the arts disciplines offered by our own department: Film, Theater, Music. Literature and Visual Arts can be chosen as secondary arts discipline only.

Please see our blog on recent topics concerning the arts in society.
