Summary
Our MA in Art History allows you to deepen your understanding of art, design, architecture, and visual cultures as created, encountered, and interpreted across a range of cultures and historical periods. Adopting an object-centred approach, you will explore the relationship between art history and contemporary debates concerning decolonisation, ecocriticism, and digital visual culture. You’ll develop the tools required to be a successful art historian, including visual analysis and critical reading. These will enable you to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to produce an extended independent research project on a topic of your choice.

|---|---|
| Entry requirements | You must hold a UK honours degree (or equivalent), preferably with at least a 2:1 classification. Although your degree does not need to be in Art History, you will need some knowledge of the subject and an understanding of relevant critical approaches, as the MA in Art History assumes all candidates have the knowledge and skills usually acquired by studying the discipline at undergraduate level. If your degree or background is not in art history or a related subject, you could study one of our undergraduate art history modules first, Exploring art history and culture or Art and its global histories, which provide an introduction to critical debates in art history. If you’re in any doubt about the suitability of your qualifications or previous experience, please contact us before you enrol. |
