Cultures of Arts, Science and Technology

The Research Master in Cultures of Arts, Science and Technology is a selective, highly reputed and one-of-a-kind programme. In two years, it trains young academics to conduct research in line with the current best practices. You write papers and proposals, work closely with faculty research staff on their projects, and gain a general 'behind-the-scenes' look at how academic research is actually done. The goal of this Research Master is to train young academics to carry out research in three important domains of modern culture, science, technology and the arts, while taking into account the interrelations between them. The programme is unique in that it combines these three domains into one comprehensive programme. It is a two-year programme taught in English.
