History of Art University of Malta

Overview

 You will pursue your studies through one of four specialised tracks: (a) Contextual Art History and Visual Culture; (b) Art Theory; (c) Technical Art History; or (d) Collections, Museum, and Curatorial Studies. The programme offers you the flexibility to approach art history from a wide range of perspectives, encouraging independent, in-depth research grounded in strong theoretical and critical frameworks. You will develop the ability to engage rigorously with the materiality of artworks, the theories that shape their interpretation, and the contexts that inform their production, while refining advanced skills in scholarly writing and analysis. This programme is particularly suited to you if you have broad intellectual interests or wish to adopt an interdisciplinary approach to the study of art.

Career

• As a holder of the MA in History of Art (by Research), your refined and skilled approach towards critical thought and research will allow you to enter a career as a curator, teacher, art authenticator, conservator, museum administrator or director, art publisher, art librarian, or as a museum reproduction or retail manager. Careers may be taken both locally and internationally.
• If you would like to further your studies, and are interested in an academic and research career, then this is the ideal course intended for you.
