MA Art, Histories and Interpretations - Bristol University
A taught MA programme, combining a range of course options with a supervised dissertation on a subject of your choice.
The programme is broadly based, and designed to appeal to all humanities graduates. It provides an entry to the subject for anyone new to the History of Art, as well as developing the skills and knowledge of those who may have studied History of Art or a related discipline before.
The Department of History of Art at Bristol is a thriving centre for the study of visual art and art criticism. Students are encouraged to explore a diversity of historical periods and critical approaches, from medieval altarpieces, through French nineteenth-century painting, to German Expressionism and Soviet public monuments. A strength of the department is its concentration on British art, where staff specialisms include Tudor portraits, Victorian aestheticism, Edwardian cosmopolitans, and contemporary diasporic art in Britain. A programme of collaborations with national and regional museums offers an exceptional opportunity to work in museum and curatorial contexts while studying for a postgraduate degree in History of Art.
Available full-time (1 year) or part-time (2 years).
