Content:

This programme provides students with reflected and critical insight through individual specialisation, methodical study and reasoning. Students will gain a general understanding of the processes of change and trends in culture, and of the conditions for culture in society. Students will also develop their ability to discuss, analyse and reflect, as well as develop their competence as initiators and instructors. This requires knowledge both about that which is being conveyed as well as the target audience. Through the students’ choice of specialised courses in the second year and project themes, and practice/field work in the third year, students may influence their own paths of study. The number of specialisation courses offered will vary from year to year.
