Visual Culture BA(Hons)
This distinctive degree explores all forms of art, culture and media, helping you understand and critique the histories and meanings of the visual world around us.
Taught by experts in visual culture, you will explore everything from the history and theory of painting and sculpture to print, photography, film, advertising and fashion, while developing your skills in written, visual and verbal presentation and research.
Small group teaching encourages discussion in an environment where every student can be heard. You’ll benefit from our internationally renowned resources on site, which include the Design Archives, Screen Archive South East and the Dress History Teaching Collection.
A year 2 placement at a creative organisation such as a gallery or museum means you graduate with real-world experience and professional contacts.
