Cultural Leadership (Research)

Is this programme for you?

Our Research Master's programme in Cultural Leadership educates futures leaders in the field of culture, both at national and international level.

In order to broaden our students' outlook on their own cultures and provide them with the opportunity to exchange ideas with their peers. we have joined forces with Roma Tre University. In the second semester, students spend three months in Rome. The period ends with a Spring School at the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome (KNIR).
