Combine the study of history with history of art to develop a critical understanding of history and the ways in which art has been produced and received over time.
Our modules will give you a firm foundation in historical skills and explore ways the past is researched. You’ll also gain a broad understanding of key approaches and methods in art, such as learning to read an image rather than simply seeing it.
You’ll benefit from a wide range of optional modules to pursue global, inclusive topics that interest you, from medieval medicine, decolonisation, to histories of everyday life. Our modules across cultural studies and museum studies will ensure you gain a wide range of transferable skills that are very attractive to employers.
Leeds has excellent resources for historians, including a wealth of archive material. The University Library's Special Collections include the almost 3,000 works of art in its Art Collection, spanning the 17th century to the present day, and the Liddle Collection of personal papers from thousands of people who lived through the First and Second World Wars.
