BA (Hons) History of Art and Museum Studies with Foundation Year

Informed by internationally important research, the BA (Hons) History of Art and Museum Studies with Foundation Year programme is taught in our award-winning John Lennon Art and Design Building and offers exciting international internship opportunities.

You will also find that you have the opportunity to examine particular art works and artists of your own choice in detail. In fact you can even design your own course. For example, if contemporary art is your passion, you can choose it as your research topic for almost all assessments, whereas if you plan to work as a Museum Curator, you can be assessed on your museum placements.

We have contacts with many local art galleries and museums but our collaboration with Tate Liverpool is particularly beneficial, as you will spend time there getting to know its collections as well as the curators who can tell you what it's really like to work in the sector. There are more museums and galleries in Liverpool than in any city other than London - so it is an excellent city in which to study History of Art and Museum Studies.
