Course summary

At Essex, you will acquire a broad foundation in the history of visual culture, both by learning about canonical forms of art and architecture and by discovering what has been overlooked or marginalised, such as medical photography, tattoos or objects from political protests. You will also develop the skills you need to make exciting new connections between the forms of visual culture you study, developments in other disciplines, and broader social and political forces.On the four-year MArtH Version of this course (five years if taking a year abroad or placement year), you will gain solid knowledge of Art History and develop the key skills of the discipline during your first three years at Essex. In your final year, you’ll take MA-level modules, which will enable you to investigate more advanced topics, and write a draft journal article. You’ll cover a wide range of topics throughout the course including:- Digital Media- Curating- Museums- Heritage- Latin American Art- Contemporary Art- Art and Human RightsOur MA modules include:- Critique and Curating- Current Research in Art History- Curating Latin American Art- Curating Inside Out- Heritage and Human RightsOne of the major reasons for choosing Essex is the quality of the education you will receive.
