Location of Utrecht University
The Master’s in Art History of the Low Countries focuses on the visual arts and architecture of Flanders and the Netherlands, from the 15th to the 20th century, studied in an international context.
Contents
Students may start this programme at two times during the academic year, in September and February.
In the first year, students will explore architecture and the visual arts and participate in three research seminars focusing on the 15th and 16th centuries, the 17th century, and the 19th and 20th centuries. In the second year, students will concentrate more specifically on the discipline of architecture or the visual arts in a period of their own choice.
In general, this Master's programme consists of three components:
I. Interdisciplinary training and Introduction to the field of research (15 ECTS)
A general course, 'Fundamentals of the Humanities' (7.5 ECTS) familiarises students from all OGC Research Master's programmes with the foundations of the humanities (history of science, epistemology, methodological and social aspects of humanities research). The compulsory research seminar entitled 'State of the Art in Art History' (7.5 ECTS) discusses the current state of affairs in the field of art history, and students will focus on problems art historians are now facing and the methods used to address questions currently asked.
II. Academic specialisation (75 ECTS)
In research seminars (7.5 ECTS or 15 ECTS each), instructors train students to conduct independent research. Students learn to formulate research questions, locate and interpret sources, assess the significance of their own research within the framework of current debate, and report their findings. In tutorials (7.5 ECTS each), students select specialists with whom they wish to conduct discussions of a reading list focusing on a specific subject. Students benefit from the expertise of experienced scholars, gaining insight into clearly circumscribed research topics.
III. MA thesis (30 ECTS)
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
