ArtScience (Master)

The ArtScience Interfaculty is embedded in the Royal Conservatoire and the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague and was founded more than 30 years ago. The ArtScience Interfaculty offers a two-year master programme that fosters curiosity driven research as an approach for the making of art. It considers art and science as a continuum and promotes the development of new art forms and artistic languages. ArtScience has an interdisciplinary focus that intersects the existing fields of music, visual arts, media art, performance art, natural sciences and humanities. Students learn to associate and transcend different art forms and areas of knowledge. We stimulate students to question and reflect upon current developments. During the programme, students work on their own art projects in connection to their research project. Prospective students are required to submit a research proposal. Once admitted, a personal coach will assist the student in devising a study/research plan that includes course modules, projects and labs offered within the ArtScience Interfaculty, the Royal Academy of Art, the Royal Conservatoire and Leiden University. The Interfaculty collaborates closely with Leiden University’s Academy for Creative and Performing Arts and Media Technology MSc programme. The Interfaculty staff originates from various artistic cultures and disciplines and is unique in its scope.
