This is the programme for you if you're interested in art and visual culture, the histories and ideas they embody, and what the built environment can tell us about wider social cultural and political themes in history.
MA (Hons) History of Art and Architectural History will introduce you to art and architecture from different periods and world cultures.
You will take courses learning about art from the fall of the Roman Empire to the present day, as well as courses on architectural history.

- explore the meanings of works of art and visual culture and the ways they continue to be interpreted
In architectural history you will:
