Licenciatura, Historia del Arte

History of Art isn't just looking at a bunch of old pictures. The art that we make reflects us, and by studying History of Art we gain a greater understanding about how we express ourselves as human beings and how that has developed over time.

Art historians utilise a wide range of skills in critical analysis, historical sourcework and cultural understanding to analyse art from the medieval to the modern day. By studying History of Art at Sidney Sussex you will be joining a small, but tight-knit community that bonds through a love of art and the insightful analysis of it.
