BA History of Art

Investigate modern and contemporary art, art theory, and visual culture from around the world with a fresh perspective. This degree encourages you to develop an independent critical engagement with artworks and visual culture, examining changing historical conceptions of art and the artist within their broader cultural and political contexts. You will explore visual culture in all its forms, extending beyond traditional museum and gallery objects to include architecture, cityscapes, advertising, media, and street style. The course focuses on key areas of debate rather than strict chronology, offering a unique viewpoint within one of the world's top universities for art and design.
