The international Master's Degree Programme in Cultural Policy
The Master's Degree Programme in Cultural Policy is a study programme based on social sciences and connected to many disciplines via teaching and research both in Finland and abroad.
We provide students with knowledge of and critical insights into the sociocultural, political and scientific challenges of analysing cultural policy and management. Students gain expertise and become professionals in the field of cultural policy research and administration.
In the interdisciplinary master's programme in cultural policy students achieve abilities to
- evaluate the position of culture and cultural policy in societal transformation processes in public, private and third sectors
- compare and explore international and national systems of cultural policy and questions of cultural economy
- analyse the historical development and future of cultural policy in various geographical and sectoral contexts
- critically apply theoretical, methodological and empirical knowledge to working creatively in internationalising branches of culture

Preference will be given to students with a major in social sciences, e.g. Political Science, Sociology, Social and Public Policy, Philosophy and Aesthetics, Administration Studies, Law or Media Studies.
