How modules work
The modules listed on this page are running in the 2019/20 academic year.
Some modules may include study trips abroad, but these cannot be guaranteed in advance.
The precise format and contents of the modules are subject to alteration; in particular, study trips may be varied to take account of temporary exhibitions or financial constraints.
Modules for Stage 1 students
The first year (stage one) of our programmes include an eye-opening and rigorous introduction to the history of art and architecture.
