Our Higher Diploma in Art History is designed for graduates, particularly those with backgrounds in Arts or Sciences, seeking an intensive one-year (full-time) or two-year (part-time) program in art historical studies.

This HDip perfectly suits candidates who:

possess a keen interest in art history but lack formal academic training in the field,
work in arts-related professions and seek formal qualifications,
need a foundation course to pursue advanced art history degrees like the MA in Art History or research programs (MRes/MPhil/PhD) at UCC. (Please note: HDip completion doesn't ensure admission to graduate programs.)
