Semester and Summer Study Courses at Sotheby's Institute of Art
Sotheby's Institute of Art - London offers a number of full-time fifteen-week courses, some of which can also be taken on a part-time basis. Different subjects are offered in the autumn and spring semesters, but each combines academic study with an insight into the professional art world and takes full advantage of the rich cultural resources that London offers.
Summer Study
Sotheby's Institute of Art in London and New York offers a variety of intensive 4-week, 2-week and 1-week Summer Study programmes in May - August each year which introduce diverse areas of the art world and its markets. These courses offer interesting and compelling insights into the art world and include lectures and seminars led by Sotheby's Institute of Art faculty, international experts and leading practioners in the field. Visits to major collections in each city's museums, auction houses, artists' studios and collections allow each participant to develop a deeper understanding of the art.
These courses are also open to career changers and anyone with an interest in the subject. There are no formal entry requirements for the Summer Study courses.
Being associated with Sotheby's gives you an enormous advantage in the art world, and having the opportunity to learn from top experts in the field will pave the way for an excellent career.
