Information
Kursen ger en introduktion till programmets innehåll och upplägg och visar på modevetenskapens bredd som flervetenskapligt område utifrån bl.a. historiska och kulturvetenskapliga perspektiv. Kursen ger en första övergripande presentation av några centrala begrepp, frågeställningar och teman som under programmet kommer att studeras och fördjupas. Den introducerar några grundläggande akademiska undervisnings- och studieformer som förekommer i programmet och inleder ett samtal om modevetarens identitet och kompetensområden. Vidare ger kursen en kort presentation av modevetenskapens framväxt och etablering inom det svenska högskolesystemet.
Kursen behandlar vidare modets förhållande till kläder och till föreställningar om könsskillnader, stånd och klass. I kursen diskuteras kläders betydelse som social markör och symbol, liksom modets roll i övergången från ståndssamhälle till modernt konsumtions- och klassamhälle. Mode sätts i relation till andra estetiska kulturyttringar och placeras översiktligt in i ett stilhistoriskt och idéhistoriskt sammanhang från ca 1350 till och med 1780-talet. Frågor om modets ursprung diskuteras.
Kursen ingår i kandidatprogrammets första termin.

How to apply
Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.
Extended application deadline
Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.
First or Second Admission Round?
All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.
The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
Tuition Fees
