30 credits, Level 5
Autumn and spring teaching
As an Art History student, this module takes you on a compulsory study trip to Rome.
The Art and the City module:
- is concerned with the physical and social contexts for the production and consumption of works of visual art
- is built round a geographical case studies of the city of Rome
- aims to provide detailed study of art in a single city across a broad timeframe (classical to contemporary)
- focuses on the spaces in which art is situated rather than on specific objects in museum collections
- lays emphasis on how to understand art in its physical context, and how to record it.
We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.
We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
