Within these analyses, the political aspects, the social implications, and the philosophical perspectives to new media and digital culture remain central to the MA programme's main focus.</p><p class="western" align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-left: 1.24cm; margin-right: 1.48cm; margin-bottom: 0.5cm; ">During the one year programme our students delve into the various aspects of digital culture guided by an international team of experienced scholars. A compulsory research-internship provides our students not only with the possibility of gaining experience by working in the new media field and contesting their theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice, but is also often the beginning of a promising career.</p><p class="western" align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-left: 1.24cm; margin-right: 1.48cm; margin-bottom: 0.5cm; ">Moderately sized groups of students, individual tutoring and the possibility to participate actively in international research projects allows enthusiastic and dedicated students to develop their skills and interests in order to achieve great academic and personal results. Additionally, the dynamic and very active community of students, alumni, and scholars provides a wide array of exciting extracurricular activities and access to a large network of practitioners, media artists, policy makers, entrepreneurs and activists from the most various strands of digital culture.</p><p class="western" align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-left: 1.24cm; margin-right: 1.48cm; margin-bottom: 0.5cm; ">If you are interested in learning more about our courses please visit our website:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://newmediastudies.nl/page/courses">http://newmediastudies.nl/page/courses</a></p><p class="western" align="LEFT" style="margin-left: 1.24cm; margin-right: 1.48cm; margin-bottom: 0.5cm; ">For more information on the admission at Utrecht University:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://newmediastudies.nl/page/admission">http://newmediastudies.nl/page/admission</a></p><p class="western" align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-left: 1.24cm; margin-right: 1.48cm; margin-bottom: 0.5cm; ">For questions about admission, you can also contact the Masters Information Desk, email:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:GW_Masterinfo@uu.nl">GW_Masterinfo@uu.nl</a></p><p class="western" align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-left: 1.24cm; margin-right: 1.48cm; margin-bottom: 0.5cm; ">If you would like to start in September 2011, the deadline for registering is March 1st.</p><p class="western" align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-left: 1.24cm; margin-right: 1.48cm; margin-bottom: 0.5cm; ">Utrecht University provides a stimulating international environment on a high academic level.
