Combining Art History with Welsh History gives you a more rounded perspective on the past, allowing you to engage with cultural history as well as social, economic and political history. Welsh history is a particular area of expertise at Aberystwyth, meaning that our students have access to unrivalled library resources and are taught by staff who are carrying out world-leading research in this field.

Graduates of this degree scheme are highly qualified for a range of careers related to Art or History, such as museum or art gallery curator or education officer, archivist, arts administrator, conservation officer or art therapist. You could choose to go onto further study and pursue a career in lecturing and research, or you could take a PGCE and teach in a school. However, your options are not limited to careers that are directly related to your degree scheme. Other career prospects include public relations, advertising, librarianship, journalism, local government and management.
