Our MA in Art History and Theory is perfect for those aspiring to careers in academia, the arts, or any profession requiring strong visual, written, and analytical abilities.
At Essex, you can tailor your studies to your passions. Potential areas of focus range from Renaissance art and architecture to photographic history, modern/contemporary art, curatorial studies, and even unconventional visual expressions like performance art and protest signage.
We emphasize research-driven education that bridges art history with other academic fields. This interdisciplinary approach fosters deeper critical analysis of artworks and visual culture, both within established art historical frameworks and beyond them.
Beyond lectures, regular faculty-organized trips to London's premier museums and galleries will immerse you in world-class collections. We actively encourage internship applications to gain practical museum experience. On campus, ESCALA - one of Europe's foremost collections of Latin American contemporary art - offers exceptional opportunities for direct engagement with artworks and curatorial work.
