MA History of Art
Part-Time Programme
The MA History of Art programme at Birkbeck College, University of London, seeks to develop historical and critical skills in the study of selected aspects of art, architecture, design and theory. It places a strong emphasis on historiographical awareness and debate.
Many of our graduates go on to start or develop careers in arts related fields; in museum and gallery administration, in auction houses, as curators, researchers or journalists. Many progress to further postgraduate work. Others take this course purely for personal reasons, seeking the intellectual challenge and a more sophisticated understanding of the history of art.
