Course Overview

Our students develop the ability to think critically and creatively, and to articulate their ideas persuasively. Intellectual rigor, visual sensitivity, and informed debate are fundamental to the discipline of the history of art, as well as being transferrable skills relevant to a range of careers. Graduates can pursue jobs in arts management, conservation, and policy; in education, marketing and publishing; in the museums and heritage sectors; and in research and academia. We offer a comprehensive Careers Service to help you advance your career, while our in-house, professional recruitment consultancy, Birkbeck Talent, works with Londons top employers to help you gain work experience that fits in with your evening studies.
