MA Arts and Culture

I chose to study Arts and Culture in Leiden as I loved the city, but also because Art History course options elsewhere seemed out of date. My Master program is a continuation of my study Art History, but with so much more life than becoming a connoisseur in a specific art style or period. It was also very easy to join interdisciplinary classes that enriched my master program.

My master tutorial classes were small, engaging and productive. Due to the small classes your professors can help you with your individual academic problems. You can really see that the professors attempt to take your learning style into account as the lessons progress. There is even a class that helps you kick start your ideas on your thesis and how to manage writing this daunting paper.

English is my second language and I ran into some grammar problems that affected my arguments in my thesis. Luckily, Leiden University offers writing classes that aim to improve participants structure and grammar. There are intensive three week course, as well as classes that only lasts a few tutorials. Other students were also more than willing to help me work through my thesis and I was happy to return the favour.
