STUDY VISITS

The art history of China, Japan and Korea from the Neolithic to the present day is the focus of this unique programme, designed for those who wish to become Asian art specialists. The course offers an art historical training in key features and concepts, encouraging students to make cross-cultural links in the art history of East Asia.

Teaching focuses on an object-based approach and is organised into three strands: ritual and religious art, decorative art and pictorial art. Another unique aspect to this programme is the additional knowledge of auction house, art market, museum and gallery practices which equip students for professional careers within the Asian art field. Graduates go on to pursue a variety of careers within the academic, museum and auction house world as well as opening their own specialist galleries.

Handling sessions and study visits include visits to major collections in London and Germany as well as a longer study trip to East Asia.

Students with no prior background in Asian art may consider our summer courses in Asian art and our 15-week Semester course, Styles in Asian Art.
