Frans Willem Korsten

Senior University Lecturer

"At the research MA Arts, Literature and Media, we are able to combine disciplinary with multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches, which means that if you are fond of a particular discipline, the programme offers the opportunity to develop yourself in this discipline; and if you are fond of a multi- or interdisciplinary approach, this is possible as well. There is ample space for specializations, but we also offer a broad overview that allows you to enter the international market. In this programme, we expect you to be a responsible and autonomous person, willing to organize your own programme."
