Overview

Are you ready to explore the global history of art in the only Art History department situated within a world-renowned museum? This degree examines how art has been created, displayed, and interpreted from prehistory to today. Based in the iconic Sainsbury Centre, you'll be part of an enthusiastic, creative and vibrant community dedicated to the study of art. On this History of Art degree, you'll engage directly with thought-provoking art from around the world. Through close analysis of objects, artworks, and exhibitions, you'll explore key aspects of European art alongside the artists and material cultures of Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. Based in historic Norwich, you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the city's rich artistic heritage. Through our partnerships with local museums and galleries across East Anglia, you'll gain first-hand insights from museum and heritage professionals into the region’s creative and cultural past, as well as the contemporary challenges of art-making and exhibition. We’re part of an international network for the study and display of art. This includes the Sainsbury Centre gallery, Sainsbury Research Unit for the Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas, and Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures. This network provides opportunities to connect you with regional and national museums. Our graduates have gone on to rewarding careers in the cultural, creative, and heritage sectors. We look forward to you joining our community.

I love the freedom in my course. I’m able to choose all of my modules and specialise in exactly what I am interested in. I’m also able to choose modules from other schools. For example 2 of my 6 modules this year are with the school of languages and communication studies because I’m taking A2+ and B1 Spanish alongside my history modules. I love the amount of greenery and the lake. It gives the university an ethereal feeling. It’s close to Norwich City Centre with really good bus services. However, there is a lot of building work on the campus which can make manoeuvring around difficult and some schools, like history, have been disrupted and displaced. There is also a lot of traffic around Norwich which can make commuting hard and getting into the city centre difficult. The food options on campus aren’t the best.

Lectures are very interesting, I enjoy the variety of topics and lecturers on the history course. Earlham park is beautiful and a great walk to pass. It’s so hard as a commuting student to make friends and getting to the university is an absolute nightmare, the parking on campus is absolutely ridiculously expensive, the free parking and ride service takes absolutely forever and I’m always late, I have to get up at 5:50 to make a 9am lecture when I live a 20 minute drive away, if I could afford the parking on campus I would do it as I would be on time and not stress. It is £13.50 for a time slot of 8:50-11

Great support if you want it and nice facilities, there is always something to do. Price is higher than I would like it to be.

The staff are all very welcoming and nice. The campus is a bit like a maze and it's frustrating when your lectures and seminars are on opposite sides from one another, but even if/when you are late everyone is understanding. The library resources are amazing, especially the online ones. It feels like I have unlimited access to everything I could ever want. The food here tends to be ridiculously expensive though.

University has been very enjoyable. Norwich is a great city and there are lots of opportunities to get involved at uni, whether that be with societies or something else.

I had the best time at UEA and wouldn't have gone anywhere else. I made great friends, learnt so much about my course and came out with a degree I was not expecting. #OhUEAIsWonderful

My overall university experience so far has had its ups and downs, I miss friends and family but at the same time I am developing into my own, independent person.

Loved my time at UEA, felt supported especially in my final year. Have made some friends for life, including a few tutors. Gained a better aspect of life, financially and morally.

4 star because although I think despite covid I've still had a great time, I do think it's sad how sciences have been prioritised way more over arts and I have not had any sort of in person teaching since 13th March 2020. Therefore I do not think my 3rd year has been good value for money. If UEA could tell me how I have benefited from paying 9k this year I'd love to know
