  • Duration

    3 Years

The BA (Hons) Art History and History offers students the opportunity to explore the rich artistic and architectural heritage of the past, learn how to interrogate visual and material evidence critically, and construct arguments about societies and cultures, their values, and identities. Students can investigate art; architecture; material culture; and texts, from medieval chronicles to modern archives and newspapers.

The course emphasises the inter- and multi-disciplinary nature of Art History. Students may tailor their degree around their own intellectual interests, selecting from a wide range of optional modules on offer from Art History, History, Conservation of Cultural Heritage, Philosophy and Classical Studies, combining the study of art and architecture with material and visual culture and media. A strong emphasis is placed on curatorship and curatorial practices. Students will also have opportunities to understand and experience how modern digital technologies can be used in the investigation of artworks, architecture, and artefacts.

Lincoln offers unique resources for the study of the history of art and architecture, including the medieval Cathedral, defined by John Ruskin as 'the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles”; and The Collection, which incorporates Lincolnshire’s archaeology museum; and the Usher Gallery, home to paintings, drawings and ceramics by J. M. W. Turner, L. S. Lowry, and Grayson Perry.
