The History of Art MA at UCL draws on the department's world-leading research and teaching expertise. The programme is designed to enable students to acquire specialised knowledge about the field of art history and to develop independent research skills.
Students develop skills for engaging with visual materials and also gain historical knowledge, enabling them to interpret artefacts within their social and cultural contexts. They are introduced to current methodological debates in the field and encouraged to define their own position through reasoned historical and theoretical arguments.

Our History of Art MA provides focused training in the history of art and its methodologies. It encourages students to develop original critical thinking on all aspects of visual culture and promotes serious engagement with historical and contemporary cultural debates. Students will learn to work collaboratively and independently to develop written and oral communication skills.
The unique combination of visual analysis and intellectual rigour offered by the MA has also proven valuable in diverse careers, including journalism, publishing and advertising. For those aspiring to an academic career, an MA is a requirement for a PhD. Many former MA students have successfully received funding for research degrees and subsequently obtained academic positions at prestigious institutions in the UK, North America and elsewhere.
