Art History and Visual Culture and English, BA (Hons)

Art and literature help us interpret the world, influenced by cultural shifts, self-expression, and unifying stories across time and place. This degree examines the social, historical, and geographical forces shaping them, studying written, visual, and spoken works—from fine art and photography to digital media, fiction, poetry, and theatre. Drawing on expertise from the Department of Cultural, Media and Visual Studies and School of English, students gain skills in research, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving, while developing an interdisciplinary perspective on cultural studies, art history, visual culture, modern literature, and linguistics.Ranked 3rd for History of Art, Architecture, and Design and 5th for English Language (Daily Mail University Guide 2025), the program offers flexible modules, Engaged Arts options tackling real-world challenges, opportunities like The Letters Page, Hollywood internships, placements, and Creative Student Network membership.
