Course summary
Modern and contemporary art has great cultural significance for our lives today. Numerous galleries and museums globally specialise in these works, offering diverse definitions of modernity and the contemporary era.
Develop your ability to analyse images, art, and architecture in a conceptual way; this is an increasingly valuable skill in a contemporary society with innovative technologies for visual research and communication.
Our flexible course enables you to study a wide variety of works ranging from painting, sculpture, and architecture, to photography, installation, and performance art, and to also engage with new media and the digital world.
You’ll go on field trips for practical experience, and to benefit from Yorkshire’s strong modern and contemporary art presence. The Hepworth Wakefield, Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Henry Moore Institute are all within easy reach.
We have developed successful partnerships with a range of modern art museums and galleries, which will enrich your studies and may offer you placement opportunities and privileged access to collections.
