University of Essex International College
What you will study
Program Description For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Essex.
A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.
Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Art History with Language Studies
This course allows students to study the history and theory of art combined with French (post-A Level), German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese (post-A Level or ab initio).
Students will receive a distinctive curriculum which covers the whole history of art, enabling them to choose from a variety of specialist options, while simultaneously becoming proficient in one or more languages. Students will engage with art works that range from Old Master paintings, through the Pre-Raphaelites and Surrealists, to the most up-to-date contemporary art and visual culture.
Modules explore a wide variety of media, including architecture, urbanism, photography and video, as well as painting, drawing, printmaking, performance art and sculpture. At Essex, they have also embedded clear pathways to careers in curating and museumship throughout the course should students wish to take them, with modules in every year dedicated to the histories, theories and practices of museums, exhibitions and galleries. At the same time they can either begin the study of a language as complimentary to their course, or improve their current language skills.
