There are four components to the Cul­tu­re and Or­ga­nisa­t­i­on pro­gram­me.

In the core area of stu­dy, you will explore key to­pics in the field of or­ga­nisa­t­i­ons and or­ga­ni­sing cul­tu­re and the arts, cul­tu­ral en­tre­pre­neurship, di­gi­tal me­dia and cul­tu­ral so­cio­lo­gy.

There are also three com­ple­men­ta­ry com­po­n­ents: elec­ti­ves, in­te­gra­ti­on modules and Com­ple­men­ta­ry Stu­dies. The elec­tives al­low you to both fo­cus and broa­den your stu­dy of cul­tu­re and or­ga­nisa­t­i­on, e.g. with mo­du­les on or­ga­nisa­t­i­on theo­ry, di­gi­tal cul­tu­res or cri­ti­cal stu­dies. It is also pos­si­ble to choo­se en­tre­pre­neurship or busi­ness stu­dies mo­du­les as electives. The in­te­gra­ti­on modules for cul­tu­ral stu­dies bring together stu­dents from all Master's pro­gram­mes at the Fa­cul­ty of Hu­ma­nities and Soci­al Sci­en­ces, and they will familiarise you with the his­to­ry and me­thods of and cur­rent de­ba­tes in cul­tu­ral stu­dies. Com­ple­men­ta­ry Stu­dies will enable you to take clas­ses bey­ond your im­me­dia­te field of stu­dy in or­der to broa­den your un­der­stan­ding of key con­tem­pora­ry chal­len­ges for cul­tu­re and so­cie­ty.

These four components will prepare you for wri­ting your re­se­arch-ba­sed Master's dis­ser­ta­ti­on and participating in the Master's Fo­rum, the accompanying col­lo­qui­um in which you will pre­sent and dis­cuss your dis­ser­ta­ti­on pro­ject.
