History of art History of art will introduce you to art from different periods and world cultures. You will learn how, and for whom, works of art were made. You will explore their meanings and the ways they continue to be interpreted. In your final years you will have the opportunity to specialise. Our intention is to produce graduates who have a professional understanding of artistic practice and who also possess an extensive and well-based knowledge and understanding of art history and the methods of its study. English Literature In this subject, you will study literature written in English from all major periods in history, from medieval to postmodern. You will explore in depth a range of individual works and authors, and the historical contexts in which works of literature were created. You will learn to compare different writing styles and genres. You will also study the evolution of literary thinking and how literary works have been interpreted in different ways over time.
