BA History of Art Offer-Holder Events
If you have an offer from us to study BA History of Art for 2026 entry, you might be interested in attending one of our Offer-Holder Events.
What is an Offer-Holder Event?
If you have an offer from us, firstly, congratulations! We’re thrilled that you might be joining us in September.
We know this can be a nerve-wracking time, and that choosing which offer to firm can feel like a very big decision. We want to support you in making that choice by inviting you to experience what it would be like to study as an undergraduate in UCL’s Department of History of Art.
Offer-Holder Events are a great way to explore what we have to offer. You’ll take part in a tailored event focused on our BA History of Art programme, including practical taster sessions, opportunities to meet current staff and students, and a visit to our department and the Material Studies Lab.
We are holding two in-person Offer-Holder Events this year. They are:
- Wednesday 4th March, 1:45-5:00 pm.
- Saturday 2nd May, 10:00-2:00 pm.
If you're unable to attend one of our in-person Offer-Holder Events, don't worry! We'll be hosting an online session on Monday 13th April. Bookings haven't opened just yet, but do keep an eye out for an email invitation coming your way in the coming weeks.
If neither the in-person nor virtual events work for you, you can get in touch with us directly, and we can arrange a one-on-one call with our BA Admissions Lead, Amanda Ju.
