My uni experience, I don't reget any of it. But you got to work hard and there is no exception to it. Rest of everything is great.

The university is as great as expected. The club and the societies are amazing and help students to get along really well and make them comfortable. The quality of teaching is the best.

This programme is unique to Scotland and the UK as it combines aspects of art history and law and places them in a broad international context. You will learn from world-leading researchers and develop expert knowledge in this specialised area of art history. Glasgow’s civic and university collections are some of the richest and most diverse in Europe and are of international standing. The University’s own Hunterian Museum and Art gallery is the oldest public museum in Scotland and has extensive holdings covering fine art, geology, anatomy and the history of medicine. The new facilities at Kelvin Hall support object-based study as a number of courses will include handling sessions of the objects in the collections. Work placement opportunities are offered within the programme on a competitive basis. In addition to Scottish institutions, work placements take place in the Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C. Our research forum provides you with a lively and stimulating introduction to methodological debates within art history. It provides a sense of art history’s own history as well as contemporary concerns and practice, examining the beliefs and values that have informed various forms of historical and visual analysis and enquiry. It is focused around a series of seminars or workshops run by members of staff and visiting academics.
