Course Summary

Course Description

On this unique and innovative degree course you will be able to study the history of European art and architecture (from classical antiquity, medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and modern periods right through to contemporary art), as well as the visual and material art forms of Islamic, Indian, African, South American, Japanese and Pacific cultures.

Throughout this course, you will be encouraged to engage closely with works of art and architecture of many kinds, and in many historical and geographical contexts. You will be able to choose modules from the wide variety offered within the School, tailoring your degree to your own interests whether those relate to a particular culture (e.g., Europe) or to a particular period (e.g., the twentieth century). Whichever module you take, you will be taught to look closely at art and to think in creative yet rigorous ways about art’s possible meanings. You will also be encouraged to think about art as a transcultural and transhistorical phenomenon which connects different periods and different places.

The course includes 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. You may also take advantage of the ERASMUS programme to transfer your studies to a European university such as Pisa or Berlin for one or both semesters of your second year.
