Comments about BA History of Art - At the institution - Coventry - West Midlands

• Objectives
  The first year is designed as an introductory year. You will take two survey courses: together, these will give you an overview of Western Art and the ways in which it is studied today, preparing you for the more focused teaching later in the degree. For your third module in the first year, you will choose from a set of optional courses which address particular genres of artwork across chronological boundaries, for example landscape painting, portraiture, sacred art, sculpture, print media, or architecture and cities. For your fourth module, you may choose Italian for Art Historians (intended for those who wish to go to Venice in the third year) or further optional courses.
• Entry requirements
  General university admissions requirements All applicants must possess a minimum level of competence in English Language and in Mathematics or a Science. A pass at Grade C or above in GCSE English Language and in Mathematics or a Science, or an equivalent qualification, fulfils this requirement. For some courses, requirements are above this University minimum, so you should check the relevant course-specific entry requirements in our hard copy prospectus which you can order online or browse on our online directory. We usually ask for candidates to show a broad base of study at GCSE level (or equivalent) with passes in at least five subjects from a range of disciplines.
