BA Art History and Cultural Studies: University of Sussex

About the programme

The cultural studies element of this degree aims to develop your awareness and understanding of a wide range of cultures and their contexts. Art history complements this approach by considering the relationship between visual materials and the cultures that make and use them.

You take art history core courses in the first two years, followed by a focused Art in Context course and a thematic course in the final year. You also take cultural studies core courses over the three years.
