History of Art is a way of unlocking the past through material culture and understanding the process of human creativity itself. Discover art and visual culture through a broad range of perspectives, such as social history, global art, philosophy, anthropology, feminism and religion. You will have access to original works, a dedicated fine art library and collection of resources in the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, our acclaimed public gallery on-campus. Here you will find works by Botticelli, Van Gogh, Monet, Magritte, Degas, Gwen John, Vigée LeBrun and Rodin. Study trips play an important part in your degree and include visits to galleries and museums in the UK and abroad. You will participate in a week-long, University-funded trip to a major European centre of artistic importance, where you have the opportunity to examine works of art and architecture in situ. Previous study trips have been to Rome, Prague, Berlin and Paris and are led by staff with specific research interests in the city. The trip provides a great opportunity to get to know the entire year group in an informal and inspiring setting. **The Golovine** – An official blog for the Department of Art History, Curating and Visual Studies at the University of Birmingham. Students are encouraged to contribute to the blog regularly as part of the course. It gives our prospective students exclusive insight into what it’s like studying at Birmingham, alumni successes, research conducted and commentaries on art news. **University-Funded Trips** - Gallery study trips are organised in the West Midlands and London, while students enjoy a week-long, University-funded trip to a major European city in their second year. Students can also choose to study abroad for one year or one semester during their degree. Our exchange universities include Melbourne University in Australia, Lund University in Sweden and Leiden University in the Netherlands. **Impressive employability prospects** - Student have the opportunity to apply for our funded arts internships with the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, or with other local cultural organisations, through the Cultural Intern Scheme. With 100% of our graduates in employment or further education 15 months after completion of their degree (Graduate Outcomes Survey), there is unrivalled career support from the University. **On-campus gallery** - Teaching regularly takes place in our working gallery on campus, The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, which is home to a dedicated fine art library and world-class collection. Seminars and events are held here, which really help to deepen your understanding and expand your knowledge of the museum and heritage sector following our hands-on approach. **A City Brimming with Culture** - The city of Birmingham hosts many art venues and cultural festivals. You will find a thriving underground arts scene, edgy contemporary pieces in the Ikon Gallery, and stunning traditional works in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, which houses the largest collection of pre-Raphaelite artwork in the world.
