Course Components

  • Core lecture series c.1450 – c.1960: underpins all components of the programme
  • Study Trips: two international trips a year to major sites in Europe or the Americas supplement regular visits to UK sites throughout the year and are included in the basic fee.
  • Object-based study is central to our teaching: training relevant to the public and commercial art worlds; practical and research based study of materials and techniques, scientific analysis, style, dating, quality and authenticity.
  • Cataloguing to auction house and museum standards: handling sessions, warehouse and museum visits; professional cataloguing exam.
  • Gallery and Curatorial Studies: engage with current debates about curating and devise fresh approaches to the display of art works. Explore practices in art criticism, developing skills to review exhibitions and produce reports.
  • Culture and Ideology Seminars: works of fine and decorative art are placed in their cultural contexts and discussed in small groups. Students acquire the skills to deliver presentations and generate seminar discussion.
  • Methodology Seminars: the analysis of technical, art-historical and interpretative texts which provide transferable skills for independent research and individual development.
  • Thesis: your opportunity to create an exhibition on a small group of objects, independently researched and catalogued, where the key academic and professional skills learned on the programme are utilised.
