Undergraduate Degrees in History of Art

York has rapidly developed into one of the leading departments of the history of art and architecture in the UK (and indeed worldwide), while still teaching primarily through small groups and maintaining a friendly and informal atmosphere.

Our undergraduate degrees have been carefully designed to offer students a thorough training in the history of art, while also allowing them the maximum amount of freedom to pursue their own academic interests and to develop their specialisations.
