Love the course, the art history department is a small but amazing team who go above and beyond to be helpful. There is a wide range of topics to choose from for the modules and they are taught by some of the best in their field. There are many opportunities to do things such as field trips and placements and it is a very interesting and enjoyable experience. read more

History of Art, BA Hons FullTime
Overall good course with varied modules and teaching experiences. However, my personal supervisor proved very unhelpful during my time here and the department did little to nothing to help with this. The marking also continues to be very inconsistent as each module is marked by differing lecturers with no second opinion. read more

Loved the course content and the 1-1 support from the department. The teaching standards were not consistent and better attention to detail, more formative work and active engagement needed to make me feel like I got my money's worth from 6-8 hours a week. read more

My course is great and stimulating. I get a lot of choice over the period I study, this year I got to choose three out of six of my modules and next year I got to choose four out of six. The teaching is also great and it’s so easy to get help from a tutor read more
