This new degree builds on our reputation as one of the UK's leading Art History departments. You'll study the History of Art which will be invaluable as you also develop skills in curating galleries and art museums. You will also be able to take part in field trips to see exhibitions and art objects. As part of the course you'll have the chance to plan your own exhibitions: both in a group project and in placement with an arts institution that you'll undertake during your second year. Both these experiences give you the opportunity to experience a working environment directly related to your studies.

You'll develop skills that are attractive to a wide range of employers, but particularly suitable for careers in cultural roles such as gallery/museum curator, the art market, conservation and journalism. Career opportunities Recent graduates from the department have gone on to roles that include: Gallery director Conservation officer Curator Art consultant.
