This programme offers you the opportunity to explore the history and theory of art and its display in exhibitions and museums across a wide range of historical and geographical boundaries.

You will have the opportunity to put your learning into practice through an optional work placement in one of Edinburgh’s many museums, galleries or archives. The programme content will allow you to develop an excellent knowledge of the discipline of art history, advanced research abilities and the possibility of gaining valuable vocational experience.
