Location of University of Kent, Canterbury Campus
For over 20 years, Kent has been at the cutting edge in providing innovative and interdisciplinary teaching in the visual arts. We have established research strengths in photographic studies, contemporary art, philosophy of art and art history, which are reflected in the rich variety of study choices we offer through this programme.
Alongside traditional academic modules, we provide all of our students with the opportunity for practice-based learning about the visual arts, for example, by taking photographs, writing criticism or curating an exhibition, and also to contribute to our growing Print Collection, where undergraduates collect art on behalf of the department.
A degree in History & Philosophy of Art enables you to explore the history, meaning and nature of the visual arts, while also providing the skills to equip you for a career in the arts industries or beyond
Careers
Through your study, you gain key transferable skills considered essential by graduate employers. These include excellent communication skills, the ability to work independently, the ability to analyse and summarise complex material and present your findings with clarity and flair.
Recent graduates have gone into careers such as arts administration, galleries and museums, journalism, advertising, teaching, image libraries, curating, and working in the art market.
