Humanities (research)

The Humanities Research Master is a unique programme that provides extensive training in research design within an inspiring interdisciplinary research environment. It prepares students for an international academic career or advanced research-related positions outside academia. Gain in-depth knowledge of the theories, methods and techniques of your research field. Learn to connect with other academic areas and develop your research skills and ability to pose innovative questions. Learn to connect research with societal issues and to communicate results to a broad audience. Students benefit from the extensive network our teams have established with heritage institutions, research institutes, NGO’s and business partners for internships and embedded research projects.

Students enroll in the Humanities research master through one of the following tracks:

• Critical Studies in Art and Culture
• Environmental Humanities
• Global History
• Linguistics (Human Language Technology or Forensic Linguistics)
• Philosophy

Once you selected a track, you can follow the set curriculum of that particular track (including electives), as well as a limited number of courses that bring together all students across tracks. The tracks showcase the expertise of researchers at the Faculty of Humanities and serve as a focal point within the Humanities Research Master. There are several opportunities to take courses from other tracks to strengthen the interdisciplinarity of your training.
