About the Program

The KSM Master's is a two-year, full-time post-graduate study programme that involves seminars, lectures, projects, presentations and examinations. The KSM Master's programme focuses on the study of cultural modernity in language and literature as well as culture, art, textiles, media and business studies at the interfaces of the Baltic, North Sea, and North Atlantic zones, as well as in the French- and Spanish-speaking world (depending on the focus each student decides upon). Credits are gained by research-oriented, postgraduate study of the culture, literature, language and visual media (arts, fashion, film). Graduates of the KSM Master's programme have an in-depth understanding of European and transatlantic modernity, including postcolonial aspects. They also have an understanding of points of cultural intersection in the Scandinavian, German and English-speaking world and can opt to deepen their knowledge in these fields in the French- and Spanish-speaking world. Graduates also have knowledge of the range of theoretical ideas, traditions and movements informing these fields; a grounding in the research methods and practices of art, cultural, literary, linguistic and media studies; and a knowledge of cross-cultural business studies. KSM offers the only postgraduate study programme in Europe with this research constellation.
