Course Description

Art represents power. Art reflects society. Art makes us think and feel. Studying the history of art helps us see how we got where we are today. And how the future might look.

This course is designed for talented UK students with a love of art but whose personal circumstances make achieving our usual entry requirements difficult. This could be your opportunity to study your subject of choice at a top 20 UK university (Times Higher Education Rankings 2023).

Through a range of engaging modules spanning the arts and humanities, the foundation year gives you an opportunity to develop key skills such as communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and digital capability. Your foundation year tutors will support you in developing the necessary skills, knowledge and confidence for undergraduate study.

During the foundation year, you will be a full member of the university, with all the opportunities this offers, including the same accommodation options as direct-entry students.

Upon progressing from the foundation year to the three-year History of Art BA you'll explore visual cultures across periods, media and societies. You'll also look at how art is both written and talked about.
