BA in Art History & Visual Culture and Classical Studies

Program Available at Streatham (Exeter) Campus

We live in a world dominated by visual imagery. From historic paintings, sculptures, prints, and architecture to modern-day photography, film, and installations – visual culture now impacts almost all of everyday life on a global scale. At the University of Exeter, we believe the best way to understand the present society we live in is to examine the past to uncover the changes in civilization, conflict, culture, religion, politics, and science that led us to where we are today. A combined degree of Art History & Culture and Classics brings together a progressive, emerging field of study with a well-established subject area that allows you to explore the culture and thought of the ancient world through its literature and artifacts.

This course teaches you how to interpret works of art, architecture, design, images, objects, and practices to uncover the role and significance of visual culture movements that changed the world. Explore revolutionary France, Victorian visions, New York’s Avant-garde and iconic representations of the face throughout history up to the present day. Over a three-year period, you will engage in a lively debate, collaborative team working, independent research and immerse yourself with visits to museums and art galleries, including an opportunity to spend an intensive one-week study trip in one of Europe’s famous continental cities.
