History of Art University of Cambridge

Overview

The History of Artcourse from the University of Cambridge has expertise in and therefore welcomes candidates in all periods from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and Early Modern eras, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as well as in Modern and Contemporary art. We also encourage research on historiography and methodology. 

As well as the research and skills training programme offered by the Faculty of Architecture and History of Art, candidates have the opportunity to attend suitable courses in associated skills, such as modern languages, palaeography, the use of bibliographic and other databases, and computer skills.

Key facts:

By the end of the programme, candidates will have become leading academic authorities in their chosen field. They will have acquired excellent skills, experience and knowledge suited to undertaking post-doctoral work (research and/or teaching) or for moving into another related profession outside the academy. 

In addition to academic knowledge based on their research, they will have acquired skills of written and verbal presentation of their work.
