UCAS code: V354

Here's what University of East Anglia says about its History of Art with a Year Abroad course.

Overview Are you ready to study the history of art as a global phenomenon? This degree explores how people have created, displayed, and interpreted art, from prehistory to the present. Based in the world-famous Sainsbury Centre, you’ll become part of a unique community. We’re the only Art History Department in the UK located within a world-renowned art museum.

On this course you’ll engage with thought-provoking art from around the world. You’ll examine objects and artworks, including significant aspects of European art history. You’ll also explore the work of artists and material culture from Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas.

Through an interdisciplinary approach to teaching, our course examines how art is made, collected, and exhibited across different eras. Your learning is also enhanced with an exciting year of study abroad. You can choose from one our prestigious partner universities in the U.S., Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.

Our History of Art with a Year Abroad course allows you to immerse yourself in the historic city of Norwich. You’ll study in the collections of the Sainsbury Centre, which was designed by Norman Foster. You’ll learn from world-leading experts. Among their specialism is the art of the climate crisis, postcolonial discourse, medieval visual cultures, photography, and the moving image. Other interests include museum and heritage studies, visual art and literature, modern and contemporary art, curation and exhibition making.

We’re part of an international network for the study and display of art. This includes the Sainsbury Centre, Sainsbury Research Unit for the Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas, and Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures. One of the many advantages of the network is the opportunity it provides to connect you with local and national museums. Our graduates have gone on to rewarding careers in the cultural, creative, and heritage sectors. We look forward to you joining our community.

Accommodation is definitely good and like a hotel. The library is open 24/7 and the campus kitchen has very good food. My room is amazing I opted for en suite room which is better than others. We share a kitchen which is ok as it can get dirty quickly. But other than that all is good

My course is pretty relaxing at the moment as it contains a foundation year. Itu2019s pretty easy as it sets you into the basics of computer science. The lectures are easy to understand and follow the workload is manageable and you get support where itu2019s needed
