This degree combines history of art with the study of Portuguese (taught from beginners' level), a language spoken in a diverse range of countries around the world. The political importance of countries like Angola and Brazil means that Portuguese speakers are increasingly in demand. The course offers an enriching experience with exciting intellectual challenges and a range of options that will allow you to pursue your own interests.Both departments encourage strong synergy between research and teaching, resulting in a vibrant learning environment as staff incorporate new research into their classes.The course will give you a grounding in the key skills needed for a history of art degree, enabling you to study a wide range of visual and material culture and explore some themes in greater depth, while developing your research skills.You will also follow a structured language course that takes you from beginners' to degree level in Portuguese and explore the rich literature, cinema, history, thought, politics, and visual culture of Portuguese-speaking communities.
