MA Programmes in the Cultural and Creative Industries

Filed Under: Education

Maastricht University offers several Masters Programmes focused on the cultural and creative industries.

The programmes are offered by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS) and tackle a range of a range of industries and fields from literature to visual arts to heritage and fashion. They also vary in approach, with some focussing to prepare students for further study and research and others providing more of a balance between practical and theoretical expertise. Below you’ll fine a brief summary of what these programmes offer. More information is available on the Maastricht University pages.

Arts and Heritage: Policy, Management and Education

This masters looks at the societal and academic significance of ‘art’, ‘heritage’ and ‘culture’ and approaches these topics theoretically and practically stance. Students explore how thinking around these topics has evolved but also learn about the contemporary challenges and issues facing them today. This programme equips students with the academic and professional knowledge and skills needed to become a curator, museum educator, policy maker, art manager and more.

Cultures of Arts, Science and Technology (2 Year Research Masters)

The two year masters looks at the intersection between technology, art and science. The guiding questions in this master revolve around the role of technology in our lives and the ability of technologies and technological innovation to disrupt all domains from food to art, healthcare and architecture. The programme pushes students to combine philosophy, sociology, art and history to become an original researcher.
