The study of art history has many practical applications and it promotes critical thinking. It also provides a sound foundation for careers in education and publishing, in journalism and advertising, as well as in curating and art administration. Through this degree, students will be equipped with essential research and writing skills. Students of the School of Art will have access to an internationally renowned collection of art and artifacts. Their collection consists of some 20,000 prints, photographs, drawings, paintings and ceramics. The School of Art is a government-accredited art museum that runs its own galleries. There are only two such schools in the UK. This means a hands-on study of art in a museum environment. This will enable students to engage creatively with art history by curating works from this collection as part of their degree scheme.
This course is also available as a joint honours scheme with fine art and photography.
