Our four-year combined degrees with Art are for candidates who have identified an interest in another discipline which they wish to study alongside Art during their degree course. You would study both subjects during the first year and make a final decision on your degree choice at the end of the year. This flexibility gives you the chance of studying your chosen joint course, single honours Art or single honours in the other subject. This combined degree offers a critical understanding of the relationship between contemporary conceptions of art, architecture, visual artefacts and culture, and those held elsewhere in other periods, promoting a conception of history of art as a dynamic discipline encompassing divergent, sometimes conflicting, approaches and views. There are opportunities to study abroad under the University's exchange programme. Typical destinations are Ottawa, Canada, New Jersey, USA Dijon, France and Zurich, Switzerland.

As well as the practical experience gained on this degree our students graduate with a range of transferable skills, such as self-motivation, time management and strategic thinking. They also have greater self-confidence and become better able to express yourself. Many of our graduates develop successful careers as artists, writers and curators. These include a number of famous alumni, such as Turner-prize nominated artists, and PhD students who are award-winning artists and curators at influential museums. Others have found employment in galleries, education, art therapy and film and video production. Recent employers include Tate, Whitechapel Gallery, The Burlington Magazine, Christies, Microsoft, and the BBC.
