Why Study Art History?
Art History is an intellectually stimulating discipline which also embraces aspects of economic, social and political history, languages and literature, philosophy, psychology and many other subject areas. As well as enjoying Art History for itself students also gain numerous transferable skills, such as the ability to analyse the images around us and to prepare and deliver illustrated presentations.
Former students of the School now use their knowledge and skills in a great variety of careers – in the law, media and retail sectors (among others) and in subject-specific areas such as art gallery and museum work, publishing and the art trade, heritage management and conservation, art therapy and teaching … the list is endless.
