Our new BA Art History and Language (French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish) gives you the opportunity to develop a range of key skills, from critical thinking and writing to historical research and visual analysis, and is enriched by the study of a modern language taught by expert linguists. We will explore the cultural and political contexts of artworks, buildings and exhibitions, and think more broadly about the role of images within society. Our modules make creative and enjoyable use of the art galleries, museums and other facilities in London and beyond, including a study trip abroad every spring.We teach art history as a rich and dynamic topic, encompassing architecture, installation, exhibitions, print culture and digital media as well as painting, sculpture and photography. You will be taught by experienced teachers who are published writers of ground-breaking art history in periods from medieval to contemporary.Start Date: October 2024 Duration: Four years
