Our BA Language and/with History of Art gives you the opportunity to study a modern language - French, German, Italian, Japanese or Spanish - to a high level of fluency and also learn about the history and culture of your chosen language-speaking area. You can study all kinds of artworks, from painting and sculpture to digital art and installations, and choose from a range of history of art modules, covering artists and art movements from the medieval period through to contemporary art. You will learn how to place artworks within their historical and cultural contexts and how to think more broadly about the role of images within society. You will also study a number of cross-cultural modules, exploring specific themes across a variety of cultures.

If you are contemplating a career in the arts, this degree will give you the chance to develop a range of key skills, from critical thinking and writing to effective visual analysis.

The degree is also available for full-time evening study over four years, including a year of study abroad, and for part-time evening study over four years.
