For our MAD in Art History and Theory, we offer supervision across a range of fields and have a long tradition of postgraduate training in all the major areas of European art and architecture from 1300 to the present, and in the art and architecture of Latin America and the United States. Essex Art History features a dynamic group of art historians investigating the production and reception of images and built environments, across cultures and media from the early modern period to the present.
Why we're great.
We have long been recognised for our expertise across a wide range of areas in the history and theory of art, including the Renaissance, nineteenth-century European art, modern and contemporary art, as well as curating and art from Latin America.
We rank 6th among art history departments in the UK for research excellence (REF 2014, mainstream universities, THE 2014).
During the past decade we have been home to several major research projects funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), looking at topics such as photography, surrealism, and Latin American art.
Your future
Many of our graduates are now working in academic institutions, in national or regional museums or galleries, or in other arts-related professions, both throughout the UK and abroad. Several graduates are now Professors in leading art history departments such as CUNY, while others have worked as curators at high-profile museums such as the Tate Modern.
You will need a good honours degree and a masters degree, or equivalent, in a related subject. A well-developed research proposal is also essential.
