The history course offers great flexibility and scope alongside a unique university experience; students are able to tailor the degree to be as broad or focused as student�s wish, allowing a choice of subjects which inspire students most from a wide range of modules; alongside the traditional academic modules in history and philosophy of art, the course provides all students with the opportunity for practice based learning about the visual arts, by taking photographs, writing criticism or curating an exhibition, and also to contribute to a growing print collection, where undergraduates collect art on behalf of the department.
