103 PhD programmes in Art History

The Art History discipline at The Open University UK has a strong specialisation in Early Modern Art and Visual Culture that extends from Byzantine art to Northern Europe and the Italian Renaissance.

The Art History Department at University of Aberdeen is an active group of researchers, offering expert supervision to research students in a wide range of topics, including late medieval art and architecture, early modern British and European art, the history of collecting and exhibitions from medieval and early modern art through art theory to contemporary visual culture.

The PhD programme is research-oriented and centred on the development of an original doctoral project under academic supervision. Doctoral researchers engage with theoretical, methodological, and practical questions related to heritage and its role in contemporary society.
