​African Verbal and Visual Arts: Languages, Literatures, Media and Art

Are you searching for a place where the African continent’s enormous creative power is studied? Where the richness of African languages and artistic developments is analysed and investigated in a scholarly way?

In the AVVA programme (BA and MA) we offer theoretical, methodological and practical tools for study, which prepare the student to critically engage with the perspectives needed to deal with African cultural milieus, ideas and forms of expression.

The innovative, multidisciplinary and market-oriented bachelor’s programme African Verbal and Visual Arts (AVVA) is a solid starting point towards understanding the intricacies of the African continent and building expertise in African studies.

The master’s programme African Verbal and Visual Arts: Languages, Literatures Media and Art (AVVA) offers a thorough, cross-disciplinary treatment of current, research-oriented topics in African linguistics, African literatures, African media, art and curational studies.
