The University Master's Degree in History of Contemporary Art and Visual Culture aims to train specialists and researchers trained both for the historical and critical analysis of the most recent artistic evolution and for the application of said skills to cultural production and management. The knowledge that intersects with contemporary art and visual culture goes beyond the traditional disciplinary structure of art history and the sphere of local debate, requiring close contact with the general and multidisciplinary debate at an international level. For this reason, and although small postgraduate programs are being offered from universities that try to approach this profile, only the joint action of two large departments such as the History and Theory of Art of the Autonomous University of Madrid and the Area of Aesthetics and Theory of the Arts , attached to the Department of Philosophy of the Autonomous University of Madrid, and the Department of History of Art of the Faculty of Geography and History of the Complutense University of Madrid , can offer the academic structure and the necessary teaching staff to create reference studies at a national and international level. The association with the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía , in addition to involving the incorporation of unrivaled infrastructures and direct learning opportunities, reinforces the role of reference to which this program aspires.

Admission Requirements
If you come from an EU country you must have a bachelor's degree from a Spanish university, or from a university in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).
If you are a graduate from outside the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) you can access the university without the need to officially certify your degree, once the UCM has verified that your level of studies is equivalent to a bachelor's degree at a university in Spain. Access via this route does not in any case imply the official certification of your degree prior to starting your Masters course.
