Studying History of Art alongside History is a highly complementary pairing, as you investigate past and present cultures - and the process of human creativity itself. Whatever your interests - whether cultural, social, military, political, economic or religious history - there is someone at Birmingham teaching your kind of history. Moreover, historians in other departments expand the range of modules on offer, notably in the fields of Byzantine and African history. You will have access to original works, special collections and extensive resources, such as our acclaimed on-campus gallery - the Barber Institute of Fine Arts. Here you will find works by Botticelli, Van Gogh, Monet, Vigée LeBrun, Magritte and Rodin.
