We expect you to attend an admissions day, during which you will have the opportunity to view our facilities and to meet staff and students. Our teaching comprises a stimulating combination of lectures and seminars. Compulsory lectures, which form the backbone of our degree courses, introduce you to key issues, concepts and debates. A wide range of small-group seminar units then examine specific topics. You are encouraged, with help from your adviser, to select those units which suit your interests and aspirations.
Many units involve field-trips to museums, galleries and historical sites, in Britain and abroad.
You are assessed at the end of each unit on the basis of coursework marks and, in some cases, examination results. At least 15 per cent of our graduates pursue careers related to their interests in art and cultural history, working, for example, in museums, art galleries, arts administration, professional archaeology, conservation and antiques. Our graduates go into the media, business and management, teaching and law, amongst many other fields. Around 31 per cent of our graduates go on to further study, including postgraduate degrees and teacher training. World Art Studies and Museology lies in a research culture of unparalleled range, vitality and integration.
