Cultural Studies concentrates on the conditions and expressions of contemporary culture from different vantage points, taking historical, political, aesthetical, social and economic approaches.
Cultural studies is a cross- and multidisciplinary subject that includes perspectives from the humanities and social sciences. An important aspect involves relating current cultural policy issues to artistic and performative cultural expressions, but also to culture and cultural heritage more broadly speaking. Cultural Studies can be taken as part of the Culture, Policy and Management Programme, or as subject orientations with freestanding courses, and can also be chosen as a major in a Bachelor’s degree:
The cultural sector is a dynamic segment of the labour market and there is a great need for skilled professionals. Prospective fields include cultural production, cultural coordination, cultural development, cultural administration, cultural management, art and cultural heritage communication, project management, investigative assignments, entrepreneurship connected to cultural experiences, and culture as creative industry. Job opportunities in the cultural sector are varied and a degree in Cultural Studies provides students with a broad, general foundation for future employment.
