This intensive program is designed to demystify the art industry by introducing students to its key players, its infrastructure, and its vast cultural and economic history. Through lectures, seminars and visits to specialist museums and collections, and many key commercial galleries, students witness first-hand what it takes to make a business successful in today's art market.

Equal parts business and art, the program devotes one unit to art history and a second to art business. In the art history unit, students explore the history of modern and contemporary art and design and the ways in which art has been made, sold, and collected. In the art business unit, students will examine established art markets in the developed world and emerging art markets in the developing world, together with legal and management issues related to global art business practice, with a particular emphasis on the international auction house system. Designed to encourage the kind of entrepreneurial thinking on which the art world thrives, the semester culminates in a final project in which students develop a new art business and pitch it to investors.

This programme is designed for those considering a career within an art business context, who are interested both in art history, and in how the art world operates. Through lectures and visits to specialist museums and collections throughout the semester, students are introduced to the cultural history of London and the ways in which art has been made, sold and collected.

Students choose from a number of art and design historical modules for a personal and tailored programme. The business component of the programme examines the history, management and legal ramifications of both public and private art organisations.
