About Postgraduate Art History

Art history is a unique, interdisciplinary subject that is dedicated to understanding and sharing the historical contexts, methods and insights that art of all kinds has to offer.

Postgraduate students of art history will be able to further develop their knowledge and skills, specialising in a certain historical period or geographic region, or building expertise in art conservation and management.

There are more than 90 art history programmes to explore at postgraduate level. These include taught MA or MSc, or research qualification such as MRes, MPhil or PhD.

What to expect

Entry requirements vary widely depending on the type of postgraduate course you choose. For example, you don’t usually need an art history undergraduate degree if you study for a diploma, but you may need one if you want to study for an MA.

Typically, modules on a postgraduate course include art theory, art criticism, art history and art practice. You might also cover art conservation, the art market and art law.

Graduates of this subject can pursue careers across galleries, archives, museums, private collections and academia.
