About this course
Art has a profound impact on how we understand our world. It clarifies events and can compel complex emotions. This course offers a critical exploration of this exciting and influential field.
You’ll examine the production and reception of art across time and cultures, and analyse why it was made, when, where, by whom and for whom – discovering the social, cultural, economic and political contexts in which they were produced and consumed. You'll also explore how feminism, philosophy, race, religion (and more) intersect with art – and how art history relates to other fields such as business, history and international relations.
Exploring central London’s museums, galleries and auction houses, you'll be introduced to art in all its diverse forms. By examining pieces from across the world, you’ll learn how material culture can inform – and even contradict – global histories. You'll also have the chance to network with industry professionals (curators, artists, advisors), join workshops and curate your own exhibition in Regent's Knapp Gallery.
Recently, students have:

- Examined works first hand at the British Museum
- Visited Frieze Masters and Frieze London events
- Enjoyed an immersive experience at Superblue London
- Produced their own photograms at Darkroom London
You'll graduate as a critical and culturally aware thinker, with the verbal and visual skills to work in the competitive art field – but which are also transferable to a wide range of future careers.
Assessment methods
Your skills and knowledge will be assessed via a wide range of written work such as journals, reports, short essays and research papers. You'll also give individual and group presentations to develop your oral communication skills and your expertise in articulating and presenting your ideas about art –invaluable for careers in the art world and beyond.
