BA Art & Design History

... United Kingdom
... Liverpool Hope University

Course Overview

Many Art and Design History graduates work in galleries and museums, academia, the heritage and cultural industries, community work, the media, publishing, marketing, advertising, education, and the commercial arts sector.

Skills developed by studying Art and Design History, such as visual analysis, critical awareness interpretation, working with complex theoretical concepts, and independent thinking, will open up many career opportunities. They encompass the study of visual and material artifacts, museum and gallery practices, and the production and circulation of meaning around art and design. This degree provides a systematic understanding of art and design practices and theories with a strong emphasis on critical thinking. There is also the possibility of participating in overseas study tours – in recent years; the department has visited Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bilbao, Milan, Paris, Florence, Venice, Berlin, and New York.

You will also take ‘Professional Practice for Art and Design History’ in your second and third years. These courses look at theoretical approaches to museology and practical considerations such as conservation, exhibition planning design, curatorial practices, and educational activities. These components address pathways into the creative industries and the range of roles today’s cultural organization demands – equipping students with the skills and knowledge necessary to secure future professional opportunities.
