This course will take you on a journey that explores how art and visual culture speak to urgent global issues, including identity and memory, politics and social justice, health and technology, economies, and sustainability.
The study of modern and contemporary art allows us to understand the world we live in today and its historical development. We engage in a variety of approaches to the study of art, across different temporal and geographical contexts. We cover diverse artistic media, including painting, sculpture, installation, architecture, photography, film, video, performance, digital and ‘new’ media.
You'll be able to chose modules to study throughout your degree, either specialising or working across a range of areas. Our department also has strong connections to a range of museums and galleries across the north of England.
