MA Courses

The MA in Art History and Theory consists of two ten-week core modules called Researching Art History I and II, each of which is assessed by two short assignments, plus three modules from the list below each of which are taught as a two-hour seminar series lasting ten weeks. Assessment for these modules is normally by three essays (one for each module taken), which are completed in the first half of the year, and a dissertation, which is completed in the second half.
