History
The School of Art has a long and distinguished history stretching back to 1917 when it was part of the only British university concerned with the Art and Crafts Movement. In 1936 it became a sub-department within the Education Department where, in 1965 the Joint Honours Art scheme was established. Single Honours Art and Masters degree schemes were introduced in 1974, one year after the subject had once again been given autonomy as a university department.Joint Honours Art History was introduced in 1981, Single Honours Art History in 1996, PhD in Fine Art in 2000 and the Single and Joint Honours Museum & Gallery Studies schemes started in 2002. Today, the School boasts a broad portfolio of undergraduate and postgraduate degree schemes, allowing for a specialised or interdisciplinary study of Fine Art, Art History and Museum & Gallery Studies.
Description
Set in its own grounds, the School is self-contained within a stylish interior that houses spacious and well-lit studios for painting and photography, darkrooms, print workshops, a Mac suite, as well as lecture theatres and seminar rooms. Allowing students to move with ease from one area of study to another and to remain in close contact with the staff, the proximity of these working spaces fosters a strong sense of community and cooperation.The School also accommodates a museum, modern galleries, and extensive art archives. At the heart of the teaching programme, these resources express the School’s commitment to serve the interests of the public, which turns out to see our students’ annual degree shows.The listed building, which celebrated its centenary in 2007, has been adapted to meet the needs of today’s fine art education while retaining many of its original features. It is an elegant symbol of the School’s aim to link the traditional and the contemporary.
