📚About the Program

Master’s in Aesthetics at Uppsala University

Aesthetics is a discipline located at the heart of the humanities. By tackling philosophical questions about art, and rigorously examining concepts such as aesthetic experience, culture, beauty, emotion, and creativity, it addresses elements of our common, shared humanity. The Master's Programme in the Humanities, specialising in Aesthetics, will offer you valuable insights into such questions, through a combination of historical perspectives, contemporary debates, and forward-looking analysis. This programme provides unique opportunities to pursue further academic training in aesthetics. You will learn how to apply artistic and aesthetic theory to practice and develop your philosophical skills. You will thereby deepen your subject knowledge, strengthen your reasoning abilities, and improve in both writing and presentation. Show less
