History of Art
Welcome to the History of Art Department at the University of Warwick
The Department of History of Art is a friendly and dynamic department that offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in the history of art.
The Department has an international reputation, which was recognised by having 70% of its research output graded 4* or 3* in the most recent Research Assessment Exercise. Each member of staff is an active researcher, and regularly publishes books and articles with leading presses and in international journals. Our teaching was graded as Excellent by the Quality Assurance Agency.

We offer an undergraduate degree that encourages students to design their own course, and draws to a focus in the final year, when they can opt either to follow a course in modern art, or to spend the Autumn term resident in Venice. This is an opportunity unique to Warwick.
We also offer research-based teaching in varieties of areas from medieval architecture or Impressionist painting to exhibitions cultures.

At Masters level we capitalise on the unique research expertise of our teaching staff, and our presence in Venice, to offer streams that focus on the Venetian Renaissance, and from 2009 on British art and architecture.
There are eight full-time teaching staff and a visual resources curator.
