This programme provides students with the opportunity to choose from a range of subject areas and historical periods in History of Art. It is ideal for those who wish to develop a solid foundation in History of Art, either as preparation for further research or for related careers. Students will have the opportunity to develop both academic and professional contacts to support their personal and professional development.
Students are taught within the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, an internationally renowned art gallery located at the University of Birmingham campus. Students are part of small seminar groups and benefit from furthering their study. Classes are taught not only at the Barber Institute, the ‘house gallery’, but also at the galleries on campus and in town.
The programme offers a range of topics all of which relate to the University of Birmingham's staff research interests and expertise. Modules, which are all on a rotating schedule, range from ‘Inside Out’, which looks at Parisian interiors in the nineteenth century, to modules covering art up to the present day, such as ‘Postcolonial Readings of Contemporary Art’. Others deal with issues such as queer studies and sexuality, globalisation and migration. The University of Birmingham also has a strong expertise in exhibition cultures and curatorial studies. Unusual nowadays, the University of Birmingham also offers modules on art in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
