The studentships cover fees (at the home student rate) and, for UK residents, a maintenance grant. The closing date for applications is 1 March 2012.

The School of World Art Studies and Museology is one of the most innovative places in the United Kingdom to study art history, archaeology, anthropology, cultural heritage, and museum studies. Its staff members are researchers with established reputations who produce some of the most cutting-edge and internationally-recognised research in the discipline – as proven by the School’s ranking in the latest RAE that rated the School first for internationally-recognised work, and joint third overall. The School is located in the Norman Foster-designed Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, with dedicated work and communal space for postgraduates overlooking the renowned Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Collection of art from around the world.

The MA in History of Art offers a unique opportunity to study the history of visual culture, from the ancient world to contemporary global art. The flexible structure of the course allows students to choose from a number of chronological or thematic pathways that will lead to specialisation. Teaching takes place in small groups, with regular opportunities for individual supervision. The degree develops critical skills in research, analytical thinking and communication, and prepares students for either a higher research degree or a career in the visual arts sector.
