Art History
Interested in the visual arts? If you’d like to learn more about the history and theory of arts – painting, sculpture, photography, prints, architecture, installations and video art – then the History of Art is for you. Study art from the Renaissance to the present day, and develop skills of visual analysis.
The study of visual culture can be especially rewarding, enabling a deeper understanding of how and why art works and why objects look as they do. Our courses also broaden your general knowledge and help you to understand the historical and cultural contexts of these works.
Studying History of Art will develop skills of analysis and interpretation that are highly valued by employers in the creative industries. History of Art graduates are widely employed in teaching, publishing and media, museums, galleries, the heritage industry and picture research.
