    Program Description

    Visual art today is strongly interlinked with today’s society, a connection which is reinforced and deepened by social and other media.

    During the Bachelor in Arts, Media and Society (BA) at Leiden University, students will explore this relationship and analyse how it reflects and impacts the issues of our time, while also learning practical and academic skills that are invaluable in the current job market.

    Students will be able to study a wide range of contemporary visual art forms, including visual arts such as painting, video art and photography, installation art, bio-art, games, performance art and digital media art. Art does not exist in isolation, and therefore this program encourages students to study and interpret art’s relationship to our society as well as the role of media in that relationship.

    This means that when studying the Bachelor in Arts, Media and Society (BA) students will also touch upon issues of visual art relating to, for instance, science and politics.

    Statutory Tuition Fees: €2.314 (For first years: €1157)
    Institutional Tuition Fees: €8.800
