Students will immerse themselves in the History of Art by completing their own independent research project within one of the best resourced Departments of History of Art in Britain, while undertaking essential training to support their project.

Students can complete their research project in any aspect of History of Art, as agreed by their supervisor. Most of the teaching takes place in the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, which houses the Barber Institute Gallery, a valuable teaching collection, used by all members of staff on a regular basis. The Barber Institute is home to an onsite research library, a prints and drawings study room and a coin study room.
