  1. students who are driven by an academic curiosity about the arts, cultural industries, or economics;
  2. students who want to develop original and well-founded ideas about how to produce, sustain, and disseminate culture.

* No rights can be derived from the following overview.

  • At least a bachelor's degree from a recognised Dutch university programme with a good overall result, or an equivalent qualification from an international institution.
  • Some training in economics at university level, combined with a sustained interest in arts and culture documented in academic studies and/or vocational experience.
  • Academic training in empirical research methods.
