Course summary
This rewarding degree presents an exciting opportunity for you to explore the past, interpret our present and shape your future through in-depth study of History of Art, your chosen language (French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish) and its related cultures.
All languages can be studied from beginners' level or post-A level (or the equivalent), apart from Portuguese, which is offered from beginners' level only.
Both departments encourage strong synergy between research and teaching, resulting in a vibrant learning environment as staff incorporate new research into their classes.
The course will give you a grounding in the key skills needed for a history of art degree, enabling you to study a wide range of visual and material culture and to explore some themes in greater depth, while developing your research skills.
Our course will ensure you practise a range of skills that will make you attractive to future employers in the globalised workplace and in the sector of your choice.
All modern languages students have access to our Multimedia Centre. You can also access extracurricular activities such as talks by visiting speakers, societies, language cafes, student newspapers and talent shows.
