Study and Modules

Year 1Year 2Year 3

Structure

You’ll begin your degree by studying art, artists and the process of creating. You’ll engage directly with artworks, explore different techniques and visual effects and deepen your appreciation of their functions and meanings. At the same time, you’ll get to know art history as a discipline in key periods of history: medieval, early modern, or modern.

In the second semester, you’ll engage with some of the most significant topics in art history, beginning with an exploration of the role of portraiture in shaping our identities. You’ll study periods of tension and conflict in history which have in turn provoked controversies in historical debate.

Important Information

Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the modules listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the annual monitoring, review and update of modules. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes and their constituent modules, the University will endeavour to consult with students and others. It is also possible that the University may not be able to offer a module for reasons outside of its control, such as the illness of a member of staff. In some cases optional modules can have limited places available and so you may be asked to make additional module choices in the event you do not gain a place on your first choice. Where this is the case, the University will inform students.

In year two, you’ll be able to choose from a wide range of history and art history modules and tailor your studies to your own developing interests. These modules will allow you to develop specialist knowledge of particular problems and periods. In the spring semester, you’ll be invited to consider how your historical studies relate to contemporary debates about art and explore the role of galleries and museums.

Teaching and Learning

You'll learn through lectures, seminars, tutorials and independent study supported by our expert historians and art historians. You’ll learn to note and dissect texts, scrutinise images and study objects. You’ll gain academic skills and understand research methods.

In your final year, you’ll further develop your independent learning through your dissertation project. Specialist modules support advanced study of historical and art-historical topics.

Assessment

You’ll be assessed through a diverse range of assessments rather than traditional written examinations. Completing assessments will equip you with the skills and confidence to flourish after graduation. You’ll be helped with assessments throughout your studies, receiving regular written and verbal feedback to help you improve. You’ll have the chance to do a practice assignment for each graded assignment.

In year one, assignments focus on developing close analysis and critical thinking. You'll practise writing skills through essays, reviews and object‑based tasks.

During year two, you'll gain more autonomy in shaping responses to assessment briefs, devising essay topics and refining historical and art-historical perspectives.

In your final year, you’ll explore specialist topics in depth through extended written work. Your dissertation forms the final assessment, supported by an academic supervisor.
