The Department of Culture and Media inspires creativity and innovation. Through regular contact with lecturers, researchers and industry leaders, students develop professional and analytical abilities that will give them the edge in cultural and media sectors.
These options have been identified to allow international students an opportunity to explore, analyse and apply their knowledge in a Swedish-Finnish setting. The packages provide students with the theoretical background and guidance to develop a project they could complete while studying at Arcada.
