Course Overview

At Essex, you will acquire a broad foundation in the history of visual culture: both by learning about canonical forms of art and architecture and by discovering what has been overlooked or marginalized, such as medical photography, tattoos, or objects from political protests. You will also develop the skills you need to make exciting new connections between the forms of visual culture you study, developments in other disciplines, and broader social and political forces.

To study our course, you don’t need an Art History A-Level. In fact, we believe that the best art historians are those who bring fresh eyes and new perspectives to their objects of inquiry.

You will develop the skills you need to transform your excitement about art, architecture, and visual culture into the ability to uncover new insights about the material you study. You will also develop a solid grounding in the history of art and other forms of visual culture, including the ideas and forces that shaped their production, distribution, and reception.

For students with a particular interest in pursuing careers in curating and museum ship, we also provide modules every year that explore the histories, theories, and practices of museums, exhibitions, and galleries, as well as more nuts-and-bolts issues, such as installing and marketing artwork.
