Course programme

The programme offers a wide-ranging mix of taught and research components, and is taught by a team including the Academic Curator in Mackintosh studies and European Modernism, and experts in the Enlightenment, Whistler, Impressionism, the Vienna Secession, and dress history.

The 20-credit core course on 'Research Methods in Practice' is taken by all students in Semester 1, and provides an introduction to the key techniques and principles of advanced art-historical study and research. This provides a foundation for the programme's other components, which consist of:

  • A compulsory dissertation (60 credits; 15-20,000 words, including footnotes and bibliography). This is submitted in August and written under the guidance of a specialist tutor. It provides opportunity for self-directed research on a topic chosen by the student in consultation with the programme convener and the tutor.
  • Five individual option courses, each worth 20 credits. These enable you to study particular themes or artistic movements in depth, and, if desired, also to obtain work experience. They include opportunities for first-hand engagement with relevant work in local collections and the new Kelvin Hall Collections Study Centre, and are selected from the following list.

Some courses are taught in Semester 1 and some in Semester 2 (not all are available each year):

  • Whistler, Impressionism, and European Avant-Gardes
  • Impressionism: Innovation and Invention 1874-1926
  • The Artistic House
  • Reading International Art Nouveau
  • Historicism: German Art, Architecture and Design 1850-1918
  • The Birth of Modern Fashion? Textiles and Dress, 1680-1815
  • Victorian Visions: Dress and Textiles c. 1837-1901
  • Scottish Textile Histories
  • Object-based research in the decorative arts
  • Collecting East Asian Art
  • Scientists, Antiquarians and Collectors
  • Landscape Art and the Geography of 18th Century Britain
  • Cultures of Collecting
  • Provenance
  • Work Placement
  • Independent Study
  • Student Exhibition
  • Semester Abroad (Ecole du Louvre, Paris)
  • Research Forum

One or more of your option courses may be chosen from those available in other College of Arts subjects, to create a distinctive interdisciplinary emphasis within your degree. The programme convener will give guidance on choices relevant to your personal goals and interests.
