Overview

BA Art History, Heritage and Museums Studies offers a multidisciplinary foundation in the histories and theories of art history, heritage studies and museum studies. Students will acquire a broad foundation in the history of visual culture, learning about the most celebrated forms of art and architecture and discovering what has been overlooked or marginalised. This degree will also introduce students to the critical study of heritage, including ethical and legal debates, and questions around how heritage is preserved, communicated, displayed, including issues of spectatorship and community engagement. Students will study topics including: History of the museum Curatorial ethics Heritage management Modern and Contemporary Art Politics of Museums and Heritage The role of new technologies and new media in heritage and museums To study on this course, students don’t need an A-Level in Art or Art History. In fact, at Essex they believe that the best students of visual culture are those who bring fresh eyes and new perspectives to their objects of enquiry. One of the major reasons for choosing Essex is the quality of the education students will receive. They are ranked 6th among Art History departments in the UK for research excellence (REF 2014, mainstream universities, THE 2014). Students will be taught by expert staff in their very first year, a rarity in the UK Art History courses.
