Our distinctive curriculum allows you to take advantage of the most up-to-date developments in the field, and combine different approaches to the study of visual media. You study a variety of different films and a number of different genres, periods, and national cinemas.

You have the opportunity to develop your interests in the history of the image and in visual communication skills as well as developing your skills of making and analyzing film.

In the field of art history, you cover a broad history and choose from a variety of specialist options. Engage with artworks that range from Old Master paintings, through the Pre-Raphaelites and Surrealists, to the most up-to-date contemporary art and visual culture. Modules explore a wide variety of media, including architecture, urbanism, photography, and video, as well as painting, drawing, printmaking, performance art, and sculpture.
