The department of Art History and World Art Studies at UEA is the only art history department in the UK to be housed within a major museum: Norman Foster's world-famous Sainsbury Centre. The Centre offers a unique and exceptional working environment for undergraduate and postgraduate study and research.
We are particularly noted for our dynamic, interdisciplinary approach to art across cultures. This emphasis is reflected in the research we do and in the taught programmes we offer. Our courses enable students to explore art’s rich relationships with archaeology, anthropology, history, heritage, and museum studies. We pride ourselves on our close scholarly community and the unique opportunities that the department can provide.
