Course Description
This degree offers you an in-depth knowledge of both art and history, enabling you to explore these distinct yet deeply interrelated disciplines alongside each other through simultaneous study in the School of World Art Studies and the School of History. As such, this degree draws on the substantial resources of two renowned centres for excellent teaching in history and art history. You will study the two disciplines in parallel, taking modules in both Schools throughout the three years of your degree, but you may also weight your studies towards one or the other during the second and third years of your degree. Moreover, seminar modules offered by both Schools will help you to understand the changing relationship between art and history, whilst also equipping you with skills of archival and visual analysis essential to the proper study of the past. This degree therefore will therefore provide you with a wide-ranging and rigorous understanding of past lives and cultures, as they have been experienced and interpreted by historians and art historians alike.The art-historical element of this degree covers art as it has been practiced in Europe and North America, as well as Asia, Africa, South America and the Pacific, from the prehistoric period through to the present day. The historical element consists of an extensive engagement with European, American and Russian history over a wide-ranging chronological span. Modules in art history include many opportunities to study works of art and artefacts first-hand, whether in the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, in Norwich and East Anglia, or in trips to London, Cambridge, and other cities in the UK and overseas.
