FACTSHEET MASTER’S PROGRAMME
N E W ME D I A & D I G I T A L C UL T U RE Welcome to the one-year Academic Master’s programme in New Media & Digital Culture. You have chosen Utrecht University as the place to come to understand everything you always wanted to know about new media, and more. With this programme, we aim to unpack what is black-boxed, intervene in academic and public discussions on digital culture, and critically comment on what is often presented as natural, intuitive, and ‘revolutionary’ new about new media.
DR. DÉSIRÉE FÖRSTER
Utrecht University’s reputation as having a strong Humanities Faculty precedes its name, but Utrecht is indeed an excellent location to study the relationship between new media, technology, culture, and society, for its broad offerings around new and social media-related events, conferences, and internship opportunities. Utrecht lies in the heart of the Dutch creative economy, and our expertise plays an important role for setting future agendas around new media on a national and European level. We are very happy to present this NMDC factsheet to you, which will provide you with relevant information on the programme itself as well as more practical information on how studying here at Utrecht University works. It also contains examples of how you can help and be involved in many intra- and extra-curricular activities, which we hope will make your experience of the programme as much rewarding as it is great fun. We hope you will have a wonderful and inspiring academic year 2023-2024! On behalf of the entire NMDC team, Désirée Förster & Michiel de Lange
