The programme provides an equal split between art practice and history. The third year covers ancient, medieval, renaissance and modern art in Europe, Islamic and Asian art, and contemporary art history and theory courses covering 21st-century practices in an international context. The fourth year focuses on critical analysis, personal vision, and awareness of its context in current art practice.
