Intro

This course focuses on global art history and visual culture from the eighteenth century to the present day, covering creative production from modern art and popular photography to multimedia and contemporary practices.

You will learn about the politics of creativity and culture, studying material and visual histories and art theory as well as engaging with debates around gender and sexuality, ecology, race, class, politics and ableism. You will also gain extensive knowledge on collecting, curating and exhibition-making.

We have excellent specialist facilities, including the St Peters House Special Collection, our world-renowned Teaching Collection and Design Archives, as well as at the Screen Archive South East. You will also benefit from our close relationships with local and national museums, galleries and archives.

The course is taught by a specialist course team with research expertise on the Middle East, North Africa, South and East Asia, North America and Britain.

I have absolutely loved my time at Brighton - it is obvious that the curriculum is constantly evolving to keep up with contemporary debates within the art sector, such as feminist revisionist histories and decolonising museums. The highlight of the course was the passion and kindness of the tutors

Course content

Year 1

In the first year you will learn about how the movement of people, images, materials and ideas has had a profound impact on the production, re-production and appropriation of art and visual culture. You will study the various ways in which artists and practitioners create works in relation to both the local and global context, improving our understanding of the social and cultural affairs of the time.

Most of your learning will take place in small groups. You will be introduced to essential study skills and tools and familiarise yourself with different types of assessments, including essays, presentations, displays, posters and group projects.

Modules

  • Local and Global: Cross Cultural Histories of Art and Design

    This module introduces key concepts of creative encounters and exchanges across cultures in the history of art and design, fashion and visual culture. You will learn about the ways in which the movement of people, materials and ideas across geographies, spaces and periods have an impact on the production, reproduction and appropriation of art and design.

  • Art and Design History in Brighton: Places and Processes

    In this module you will explore aspects of Brighton and Hove that are significant to the history of art and design locally and in some cases more broadly, through the introduction of key sites, themes and resources, for example, the Royal Pavilion and Museums; the historical development of local identities in subcultures and sexualities and Brighton on film. The topics are complemented by a seminar series that will equip you with the skills and tools needed to study history of art and design at degree level.

  • Material Matters

    Material Matters is an opportunity to explore the characteristics, histories and values associated with different types of materials that are used in the creation of studio-produced or manufactured objects. You will develop an appreciation of the qualities of different materials and the cultural and environmental implications of their use. You'll have an opportunity to focus on particular types of materials such as cotton in the creation of clothing; nitrate in the use of photography and film, and clay and porcelain in the production of domestic kitchenware. The module introduces the UN Sustainable Development Goal for Responsible Production and Consumption (SDG12)

  • Artist, Designer and the Prosumer

    This module introduces concepts and trans-historical studies in art and design. You'll explore themes within key historical and theoretical ideas and approaches in art, design, fashion and visual culture, such as: artist curator, cultures of craft, professionalisation, feminist art, DIY fashion, the photographer and the prosumer.

Our courses are reviewed and enhanced on an ongoing basis in order to make sure that what you learn with us is relevant and that your course enables you to develop appropriate skills. When you apply to study with us, we will inform you of any new developments in your chosen programme through Student View.

Hear about a placement student 

Sally Lawrence did her placement at Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft

How was your placement arranged?
There was an option module which allowed students to undertake a placement and then reflect on this in the form of an essay, a log book and a presentation. Everything was arranged by tutors but we were consulted if travel was involved.

What kind of things did you get to do?
I spent time with several members of staff including the director, curator, general manager, communications manager and the volunteer coordinator. I was allowed to sit in on many meetings, including internal staff meetings, meetings with guest curators and possible event partners. I spent some time in the collection store learning about collection maintenance, storage and ethical disposal. I also helped to update and digitalise loan records. I spent a lot of time researching existing visitor types and exploring ways in which to boost visitor numbers, whilst also encouraging a more diverse range of people to visit the museum.

Did you enjoy it?
I found it to be a very enriching and pleasant experience. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and grateful for my help too.

Has it led to any other opportunities?
This real-world experience has enhanced my subsequent essays and presentations regarding museum practice. I chose to stay on as a volunteer and this allowed me access to private viewings, as well volunteer specific talks from guest curators.

What would you like to do when you graduate?
I have applied to stay on at Brighton to do the MA in Curating Collections and Heritage. After that I would like to go into curating. My placement certainly played a part in this decision.

Employment demand for humanities graduates

The British Academy has compiled a report (May 2020) quantifying the demand for arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) skills in the workplace. It helps to answer the legitimate question of what the economic return is on undertaking a degree, both in time and money. 

According to the report:

  • As arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) graduates progress through the first ten years of their career they are able make strong progress up the career ladder into roles attracting higher salaries
  • Arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) graduates are employed in some of the fastest growing sectors including financial services, education, social work, the media and creative industries
  • Of the ten fastest growing sectors, eight employ more graduates from AHSS than other disciplines

This makes AHSS graduates at the heart of some of the most exciting, productive, largest and fastest-growing sectors of the UK economy.

Future skills demand

According to the report:

  • With the challenges the world is facing – climate change, global pandemics, the growth of populism – the UK needs the insights of the arts, humanities and social sciences (AHSS) as much as those from science, technology and engineering (STEM)
  • Evidence within the report shows that Arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) graduates are central to these challenges and changes – they will be vital in giving us the tools to examine and explain human behaviour, understand how society functions, learn from the past and apply those lessons to the present, and analyse the drivers and implications of a changing world and how different countries, places and cultures interact.

Fees

Course fees

UK (full-time) 9,250 GBP

International (full-time) 14,300 GBP

What's included

You may have to pay additional costs during your studies. The cost of optional activities is not included in your tuition fee and you will need to meet this cost in addition to your fees. A summary of the costs that you may be expected to pay, and what is included in your fees, while studying a course in the School of Humanities and Social Science in the 2022–23 academic year are listed here.

  • For some assessments you may be required to print large format posters for presentations at a cost of £5–£10 per poster.
  • Most coursework submissions are electronic but you may wish to print notes and should budget up to £100 for printing.
  • Course books are available from the university but you may wish to budget up to £200 to buy your own copies.
  • Some courses include an optional placement module for which students will need to cover the costs of travel to and from the placement and DBS checks as required.
  • For the Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling PGDip and Psychotherapeutic Psychodynamic Counselling PGDip, the following course-related costs are not included in the tuition fee:
    • Supervision fees: £1,170 for each full year. Estimated based on £45 per hour with fortnightly meetings. In some agencies, supervision will be provided at no cost. Where students have to pay, the cost will only begin when supervision begins.
    • Personal counselling/therapy: £2,000–£2,800 over the course. Estimated based on £40 per hour.
  • For a number of courses you will have the opportunity to attend field trips and off-site visits. These are optional and are not required to pass your course but under normal circumstances we would expect a budget of approximately £150 per year will cover the costs of particular trips. The amount spent would be based on location and number of trips taken.
  • You will have access to computers and necessary software, however many students choose to buy their own hardware, software and accessories. The amount spent will depend on your individual choices but this expenditure is not essential to pass any of our courses.

You can chat with our enquiries team if you have a question or need more information. Or check our finance pages for advice about funding and scholarships as well as more information about fees and advice on international and island fee-paying status.

Info

The fees listed here are for full-time courses beginning in the academic year 2023–24.

Further tuition fees are payable for each subsequent year of study and are subject to an annual increase of no more than 5% or RPI (whichever is the greater). The annual increase for UK students, who are subject to regulated fees, will increase no more than the statutory maximum fee.

You can find out more about our fees in the university's student contract and tuition fee policy (pdf).

The tuition fee you have to pay depends on a number of factors including the kind of course you take, and whether you study full-time or part-time. If you are studying part-time you will normally be charged on a pro rata basis depending on the number of modules you take.
