The History of Art Department at UCL is a recognised centre of excellence in both teaching and research. As editorial home to two scholarly journals and with an international reputation to match the unrivalled resources of London's cultural resources, UCL is one of the most exciting places to study History of Art in the UK.

Conveniently situated in Bloomsbury with easy access to the National Gallery, the Tate Galleries, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and London's private and commercial galleries, the department offers excellent opportunities to study History of Art at first hand, both through courses specifically constructed to take advantage of London's cultural richness and through private study in your own time.

You will be studying in a department recognised internationally as a centre where the terms of critical and historical debate within the subject are set. We have an expert in the technical analysis of paintings, and maintain mutually beneficial links with other UCL departments such as History, Anthropology, and a number of the language departments.

We teach by lectures and seminars, assessed by course essays and end-of-year examinations (Fall Term students by two essays). Those courses only open to History of Art affiliates directly admitted to the department are clearly indicated.
