Arts, Culture and Society

Do you want to stay in academics after your graduation? Considering doing a PhD programme? At Erasmus University Rotterdam, it is possible to further develop your research skills. After completion of Tourism, Culture and Society you may be eligible for an an abridged programme of the Research Master Sociology of Culture, Media and the Arts. You will be selected based on your academic motivation and talent.

Developing analytical skills

In the pre-master, you will be educated as an academic professional. All of the pre-masters focus on writing essays and articles and on conducting social scientific research. At the end of the pre-master year, you can put your newly gained research skills and knowledge to good use when you write your final paper, a Bachelor thesis.

The pre-master is a highly intensive programme, taught entirely in English. You will acquire academic skills, write essays, learn about statistics, and conduct your own research. We expect a lot from you, but your efforts will all be rewarded when you can start the master specialisation Cultural Economics and Entrepreneurship the next year!

Duration of the programme

The pre-master takes one year (45 EC). It may under certain circumstances take two years to complete. You are required to complete several crucial courses at the Bachelor level. There are also courses designed specifically for the pre-master.

Those who complete the programme will not receive a diploma but a certificate of admission to the related master specialisation.
