Art History

A good 2.1 Honours undergraduate degree. A degree in art history is strongly recommended but is not an essential requirement.

The MLitt in Art History is designed to:

• Develop and enhance core research and writing skills.
• Introduce and deepen knowledge of the theoretical and methodological foundations of art history.
• Enable students to explore current critical debates, art media and contextual questions.

Highlights

• The choice of modules allows wide-ranging study of thematic or methodological issues, as well as focused research pathways.
• Small class sizes prioritise discussion with peers and interaction with the tutor.
• Students have the opportunity to attend class trips, and there is a research seminar with guest lecturers for all staff and students every two weeks. Students may also apply to take part in exchange programmes at our partner institutions.
• Students have access to extensive library holdings including a major visual resources collection with over 150,000 images.
