Brief Description

This is a one-year, part-time course at certificate level. The course will consist of a survey of art and architecture studied in the context of the ambient culture. It will be worth a total of 24 credits on the ECTS scale.

On completing the course a participant will have acquired the ability to:

• describe and identify the essential artistic and technical characteristics of significant and exemplary works.

• set works of painting, sculpture or architecture into their broader historical and cultural contexts.

• acquire detailed knowledge of specific themes in art history through independent research.

The course will be delivered through lectures and discussion every Tuesday evening during the Autumn and Spring semesters.

Study visits to art galleries, and first-hand contact with relevant works will be encouraged.

A sympathetic academic environment will be provided by the course lecturers who will offer guidance and advice in appropriate research and study skills.
