Programme specification:
The BA History of Art with Cultural Studies is perfectly positioned to offer a rich and flexible curriculum. It takes place in the School of Fine Art History of Art and Cultural Studies, home to many internationally renowned experts in both the history of art and cultural studies. Students on the programme will benefit from working with the diversity of students within the school and as we move into the new Geography Building in 2015/16 there will be new spaces where they can work and interact with each other in exciting and productive ways.
This programme will provide students with the knowledge, inspiration, confidence and skills to develop their critical and research skills. They will be able to deploy these in a whole range of media and debates in sensitive, informed and imaginative ways. Students will have the opportunity to develop to a professional and post-graduate standard. The programme includes modules which locate the histories of art in their wider cultural, social, political and economic contexts.
The programme seeks to forge and strengthen links with the expanding area cultural industries so, with both the year abroad and professional placement(s) students will have the opportunity to work in a wide variety of places connected to (although not exclusively) to the wider art and culture industries and institutions.
