My experience in the Global Premodern Art: History, Heritage and Curation master's degree programme was nothing short of extraordinary! I highly recommend the programme to prospective students because of its unique global perspective on art history, which is essential for the field's future. Our course selection is thoughtfully curated to offer a wide variety of interconnected topics including various cultures across premodern history. In our classes, such as 'Approaching World Objects' and 'Global Rome', our instructors presented a different object from diverse cultures each week. This creative approach allowed us to broaden our understanding of art history and curation in an engaging way.
