Program Overview

History and History of Art (joint honours)

Overview

Our joint honours course allows you to pursue your own areas of interest within History and History of Art whilst also providing you with a solid foundation in the discipline which will serve as a springboard for your future career development. The programme is carefully designed to enable you to gradually develop your knowledge and skills and become effective and independent learners.

History is about far more than studying the past. It enables you to discover why people act the way they do and explore how societies develop. History of Art at Brookes places a particular stress on the study of works of art and buildings at first-hand, with almost all modules including guided visits to sites in Oxford or London.

Links between research and undergraduate teaching are an important and distinctive feature of the programme, and the combined research experience and competencies of staff have shaped its design, content and delivery.
