This course will give you three distinctive and complementary years of studying the history of art and architecture. The interdisciplinary nature of art history allows you to develop your existing skills and interests and is reflected in our close relationship with other departments and centres in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. History of Art is a traditional humanities subject with a strong vocational element, allowing you to develop valuable transferable skills. We have partnerships with the Tate, the National Gallery, the V&A and York Museums trust.  We use varied assessments to develop and evaluate your different strengths. Our assessments include: Essays; Closed exams; Open papers - a take-home exam lasting 48 hours; Group projects; and an 8,000-word research dissertation. On completion of this course many graduates take the first step of their careers on prestigious internships - recently at MoMA and the Guggenheim in Venice. Others go on to postgraduate study here and at other top universities.
