The University of Buckingham’s one-year Master of Arts by research in the History of Art: Renaissance to Modernism gives an overview of the development of Western art and its leading artists and movements and offers students the chance to study in depth an approved topic of their choosing. A supervisor will oversee each stage of the research – whether that be into such subjects, for example, as Renaissance portraits, aspects of the Baroque, Impressionist techniques or post-war British art – offering not just art historical guidance but also information about research techniques and dissertation structure. The aim is to produce a 25,000-word dissertation that sheds new light on the topic. This programme is London-based and directed by the distinguished art historian, Michael Prodger. The course of research is complemented by a series of guest seminars presented by an internationally distinguished group of art historians, artists and gallerists.
