Overview
The Research Master’s specialisation in Art and Visual Culture studies the theories and practices of visual culture from various angles, including the ways in which the interpretation of visual expressions change within particular cultural contexts.
This specialisation is designed for cultural scholars, classical archaeologists, and art historians alike. You’ll gain insight into the methods and theories of the humanities at large, as well as those specific to your own field.
Throughout the program, you will be offered plenty of opportunities to focus on your own topic in the fields of Art-History, Cultural Studies and Archaeology.

This Art and Visual Culture (Research) program at Radboud University is primarily intended to prepare its students for an academic career, in particular as PhD researchers.

Some of them have been selected as candidates for in company training programs of institutions of higher education or governmental organisations.
