We believe your education should be enabling and enriching. Art History and Heritage Studies is a new department which is part of Buckingham’s School of Humanities. You will be joining a lively community of British and international students in different subjects and schools including English, History, Modern Languages, International Studies, Law, Management, and Psychology, recent school-leavers as well as those returning to higher education.
Like all the University’s departments, Art History and Heritage Studies has a strong commitment to teaching and learning excellence. The staff are experts in their subjects and experienced university lecturers and teachers, and with small classes, seminar groups and tutorials students are encouraged from the beginning to develop their own ideas and knowledge by learning interactively, guided by their tutors to discover the richness of the subject, to acquire new skills and to realise their potential.
We believe strongly that your university education is a joint enterprise of discovery in which students and staff are partners.
The Department is committed to developing links with cultural and creative professionals in museums, heritage, fine arts management and business, and in specialist areas such as arts journalism and publishing to help its students make future career choices. For those who have chosen an arts and humanities degree to prepare themselves more generally for any of the professions which look for graduates with good research, analysis and writing skills, Buckingham’s excellent record of graduate employabilty (one of the highest in the country) and the University’s careers advisers will be valuable for entering the jobs market or preparing for graduate training courses and entry schemes.
If you are looking to get ahead with a good qualification, Buckingham’s distinctive two-year BA Honours programmes can offer a stimulating and inspiring experience with a Department that values what you can bring to its learning environment.
