FACTSHEET MASTER’S PROGRAMME
A RT S A N D SOC I E T Y Dear students, It is with great excitement that we welcome you to the Master of Arts programme in Arts and Society at Utrecht University. We believe that the diverse, international cohort of incoming masters students offers a great and much needed platform to discuss the changes and the challenges both the arts and society are going through at the moment. The MA in Arts and Society at Utrecht was designed to meet a growing global demand for professionals who are capable of combining a firm belief in the value of arts and culture with a deep understanding of the social processes underlying these vital areas of human life in the twenty-first century. Arts and Society marries rigorous theoretical training with practical orientation in the current state of the arts and culture sectors locally, regionally, and globally.

With intensive teaching modules, research training, a local, regional or global internship, and a master’s thesis, the programme engages with a wide variety of arts practices, practitioners, institutions and agents, spanning fine arts, performing arts, museums, festivals, material and intangible cultural heritage, as well as alternative or ‘underground’ arts practices and movements. And on top of the time we spend in the classroom, we also encourage you to explore the cultural field in the Netherlands and go visit exhibitions, festivals, and performances in your fields of interest. We have no doubt that you will find the program not only intellectually challenging and personally fulfilling, but that you will also grow and flourish as a scholar in the stimulating academic environment of Utrecht University. In this Factsheet, you will find information about the programme, the structure, and the lecturers. It also includes tips about accommodation and transport, in order to help you find your way in Utrecht. Please read this information carefully and feel free to approach us at any time for further information or clarification. We look forward to meeting you, to the formation of our Arts and Society community, and to an inspired year!
Yours Sincerely, Dr. Evelyn Wan
