Study and Modules

Year 1Year 2Year 3

Structure

You’ll begin your degree by studying art, artists, and the process of making artwork. You’ll engage directly with objects, deepen your appreciation of their functions and meanings and explore different techniques and visual effects. You’ll consider what makes art history a distinct discipline. And probe significant art historical themes, beginning with the role of portraiture in shaping our identities. You’ll explore the Sainsbury Centre’s collections and learn to critically engage with different kinds of art.

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.

You’ll examine how artworks in museums accumulate layered histories. How, over time, artworks are moved, conserved and restored, reinterpreted and contested. You’ll therefore learn to research object biographies by drawing from the methods of art history, anthropology and archaeology.

In the spring semester, you’ll study contemporary museum practice, appraising how historical collections respond to present-day demands for value, ethics, community and representation. You’ll also choose from a range of optional modules, which will enable you to develop more specialist knowledge of specific problems and periods.

You’ll become more intellectually independent. You’ll engage with complex debates. You’ll work with new types of sources. And you’ll develop your own academic voice.
