Structure of the minor
The learning outcome of the minor is: “You demonstrate that you have knowledge of and have developed a vision on the three pillars of the Dutch or a different country’s art and culture sector that play a role in the programming of the theatrical and visual art products (expressions) of subsidized art companies. In addition, you demonstrate that you have expanded your network, have conducted active research and shared this in various ways.
