Course summary
TEF Gold
University of Nottingham has opted into the TEF and received a Gold award.
For most students on this joint honours course, history is an existing passion, and history of art provides an additional way to explore the subject. Art has an important place in history, in power and protest, status and symbolism. Visual culture surrounds us, from art galleries to advertising. History In history you will already have your favourite subjects, perhaps the Tudors, civil rights, or the Second World War. You may deepen your knowledge of these topics, but also discover new ones. You can explore many aspects of the past, from 500 CE to the present, examining a range of countries around the world. You will build on your existing research, writing and debating skills. History of Art You will think about the meaning of art and its place in society from the Renaissance to the present day. You will study a wide-range of visual arts including:
- painting
- sculpture
- architecture
- graphic arts
- photography
- other visual media
