Student Testimonials
Studying History of Art at Bristol University has intensified my initial passion for the subject. With dedicated lecturers who are experts in various fields, I have had the opportunity to absorb a wide range of art-historical knowledge across time periods, as well as develop a profound understanding of individual art movements.
What I like most about the History of Art program is that you're often given a solid foundation of understanding but then allowed a wide scope for pursuing your individual research interests, so the course stays as fresh as you want it to be. I have also found the skills and knowledge that I have developed useful and highly applicable to my life outside of the university.
The art history department has its own study centre, which is a great resource for group work and preparing presentations. My degree is teaching me to steer my own learning, which will definitely help me go on to further study.
I found the History of Art program to be very worthwhile because it offered a wide variety of subject matter, giving me the freedom to study topics that were of interest to me. With this freedom, I gained a better foundation and an appreciation for new artists and movements.
