BA History of Art and Literature

Engage with great works of art and literature simultaneously, in a course which combines the study of images with the analysis of words and which will give you the knowledge and skills needed to fully understand both.
This invigorating degree programme benefits from the Faculty's internationally-renowned expertise in Art History and World Art Studies and Literature, Drama and Creative Writing. Close reading of literary texts is combined with first-hand study of art, allowing you to gain in-depth knowledge of these two central forms of human expression and develop strong skills of visual and verbal analysis.
You will study art history and literature in parallel, taking modules in both disciplines throughout your degree with opportunities to study works of art first-hand on trips to London and overseas. You will also have the opportunity to study art’s profound relationship with literature and vice versa, through optional modules and your final-year dissertation.
