I've always been more interested in the sciency aspect of Art History. I looked at an array of schools for what type of course would be good to mix these two different interests. This programme checked all those boxes for me. All of the options are really good. There's a lot of science and technical experimentation, but a lot of philosophy, art history and culture at the same time. I got hands-on experience with the technology in the Kelvin Centre. It was very hands-on. Michelle, Mlitt student
The technical art history course is so multidisciplinary that you do get to try everything. You're very immersed in it. You get to handle the objects. With Special Collections in the library, you can go and see things like illuminated manuscripts. The accessibility is great. Faith, Mlitt student
