Overview

Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences’s interests in publishing are therefore twofold: first, publishing as the inquiry and participation into the technological frameworks, political context and cultural processes through which things are made public; and second, how these are, or can be, used to create publics.

Key features

As part of Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, and to provide you with the building blocks for your own projects, you will be exposed and taught a wide range of Free/Libre and Open Source software and standards combined with techniques and strategies relevant to do-it-yourself (DIY) and do-it-with-others (DIWO) publishing.

This is a core element in the critical approach to Experimental Publishing, where the university values technical (mis)appropriations, modularity, custom applications and collaborative authorship, so as to actively engage and create publics for societal topics and themes linked to contemporary cultural productions, as well as to expand the means of discourse circulation beyond print media and its direct digital translation.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

During Year 1, you will participate in the making of 3 special issues. Each special issue addresses a specific “issue” coordinated with outside events and collaborations, and culminates in one single or several public releases.

During Year 2, you will dedicate your time to the writing of your Master thesis and the making of an experimental publication, as part of an individual or collaborative effort.
