Programme overview

Media Studies

The study programme in a nutshell

The pre-master Media Studies is a highly intensive one-year programme, preparing you for one of the specialisations within our master Media Studies: Media & Business, Media & Creative Industries, Media & Journalistiek (Dutch) or Media, Culture & Society. During the pre-master, you will already choose one of these specialisations, which you will prepare for. The programme focuses on three elements: theory, academic skills, and research skills. After successful completion of the programme, you get direct access to the master specialisation you chose in your pre-master.

Duration of the programme

The pre-master takes one year. During this year you are required to obtain 45 credits. This gives you the time to adjust to the pace of studying at our university while getting ready for the following master specialisation.

Teaching language

All pre-master specialisations and courses are taught entirely in English. Exept for Media & Journalistiek, in which the tutorials are taught in Dutch*.

*If the group is smaller than 10 students, the Dutch tutorial group will be merged with English tutorial groups.
