Art History, Theory & Contemporary Culture BA (Hons)

... United Kingdom
... University for the Creative Arts

Course Overview

Our fascinating, in-depth BA (Hons) Art History, Theory and Contemporary Culture degree course will take you on a journey to discover the contexts in which contemporary art emerged from modern and postmodern practices in Europe and the USA after the Second World War - and how it established itself across the Americas, Africa and Asia. As you study, you'll explore the growth of global contemporary art and the evolution of culture since the beginnings of decolonization in the 1950s. You'll also learn about the ways in which contemporary art has been made, consumed - understanding the roles played by museums, galleries, auction houses, educational institutions and more - and thought about globally over the last century. You'll graduate with extensive knowledge of the current state of contemporary art and its likely evolution. As part of the course, you'll benefit from a professional placement – or a Professional Practice Year, if you choose that pathway – and build industry-relevant skills to ensure that you graduate ready for the workplace.
