Overview

Art History (Hons) degree provided by University of Sussex is radically open – we explore art as a powerful force that shapes how people think, feel and act.

From ancient mosaics to music videos, and from Pre-Raphaelite jewellery to global environmental art, you can follow your interests. You’ll develop visual literacy to decode and interpret a range of visual languages, from fine art and advertising, to AI and design. In an age of image saturation and misinformation, these skills are essential.
