History of Art and Design BA(Hons)
As one of the first universities to explore design, clothing, and decoration as part of the history of art, Brighton has a rich heritage in the field, as well as excellent facilities and close relationships with local and national museums.
Our unique and respected programme explores the history of art and design around the world, from traditional manufacture to emerging contemporary practices. The course covers subjects including fine art, design, heritage, museum studies, film and fashion.
Guided by an expert course team, you will engage with a wide range of art and design objects, and learn to explore the use, production, preservation, social value and cultural memory of the things that societies and individuals have created.
