All the time youll be questioning. Why that method? Why that subject? How did people react then? What does it mean now?<br/><br/>Youll be able to choose modules that complement each other, allowing you to look at the same topic in different ways. Project work and a dissertation give further opportunities to draw the subjects together.<br/><br/>It is not necessary to have studied art or history of art to apply for this course.
