    BA (Hons) Curating and Art History

    About

    This innovative degree builds on our reputation as one of the UK's leading art history departments.

    You'll study the history of art, which will be invaluable as you develop skills in curating in spaces such as museums, galleries, or other cultural and heritage sites, as well as in institutions outside of the art world. You may further have the opportunity to partake in field trips to encounter objects in their various institutional settings.

    • You'll also have the opportunity to work with the University Art Collection.
    • You can also study a language in your first year, with options specially tailored for art historians.
