The Material and Visual Culture MA critically examines human-made and modified objects and visual media, including art, design, architecture, landscape, heritage, photographs, film, fashion and performance, to understand how cultures and societies work, preparing you for global professional practice.This one-year (or two-year if part-time) programme will give you a practical and theoretical grounding in applying anthropological, humanities and natural and social sciences approaches to the analysis of the objects, materials, and visual media that humans use to survive, to define relationships, to represent our identity and to benefit our wellbeing and social standing.
