About

Overview

Our joint honours course allows you to pursue your own areas of interest within History and History of Art whilst also providing you with a solid foundation in the discipline which will serve as a springboard for your future career development. The programme is carefully designed to enable you to gradually develop your knowledge and skills and become effective and independent learners.

History is about far more than studying the past. It enables you to discover why people act the way they do and explore how societies develop. History of Art at Brookes places a particular stress on the study of works of art and buildings at first-hand, with almost all modules including guided visits to sites in Oxford or London.

Links between research and undergraduate teaching are an important and distinctive feature of the programme, and the combined research experience and competencies of staff have shaped its design, content and delivery.

We are Top 10 in the UK: History and History of Art is ranked 8th in the Guardian History of Art subject league ranking 2025.

Regular career events give students the chance to meet with recent graduates and hear about their experiences, and a LinkedIn page allows them to follow and contact graduates.

If students opt to take the programme in the four-year sandwich mode, they will be able to spend a year during the degree either working in a placement or series of placements or studying at a university abroad. These offer great opportunities for developing employability skills and, in the former case, networking and building contacts.

This course is appropriate for careers in a range of cultural roles such as artist, curator, journalist, arts manager, gallery assistant, and teacher, as well as being appropriate for postgraduate study.
