Modules

In year one, through a series of six core modules you'll examine key developments, methods, materials and processes, develop skills in first-hand analysis and begin to appreciate how objects relate to their cultural and historical context In year two you'll take part in a field trip to a major European cultural centre (recent destinations have included Berlin, Paris and Rome) and carry out an independent study project based on one of the sites visited. You also get a free choice of modules to explore your own passions. Year three focuses on increasing specialisation, theoretical and critical interrogation, and the development of your independent critical voice. You can choose to write a dissertation, allowing you to explore one of your passions in real depth. You'll also select from a wide range of optional modules in history of art and wider media cultures. If you want to get a different perspective on one of your interests you can also take a module from outside the department (for example in Architecture or History, or a language). Placement and volunteering opportunities are available in the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies, as well as via the Nottingham Advantage Award.
