Our fascination with the historical past, and the visual art it has bequeathed us, is richly evident in our thriving heritage sector and record numbers of visitors to museum and galleries.This wide-ranging BA in History of Art and History will take you from the ancient world through to the present day exploring social, cultural, intellectual and political histories to develop your understanding of visual culture within these contexts. You will acquire the analytical skills and critical approaches that enable you to investigate texts, images and historical documents for yourself, and develop your competence in both visual perception and historical interpretation.While some of our students have studied art history and/or history at school or have completed short courses, most have not studied these subjects in any depth prior to starting this course. The first-year modules are therefore intended to provide you with academic skills and a good grounding in the disciplines. As you progress through the course, you will have opportunities to explore different historical periods, themes and topics and different types of visual culture in more detail, from buildings to installations, sculpture to digital media, paintings to photography.<br><br>Our students develop the ability to think critically and creatively, and to articulate their ideas persuasively. Intellectual rigor, visual sensitivity and informed debate are fundamental to the discipline of history of art, as well as being transferable skills relevant to a range of careers. Graduates can pursue jobs in arts management, conservation and policy, in education, marketing and publishing, in the museums and heritage sectors, and in research and academia.<br><br>Jobs gained by some of our BA and MA graduates include:<br><br>Head of Learning, Design Museum<br>Curator, Schools Programmes, Tate Modern<br>Curatorial Assistant, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco
