For over 20 years Kent has been at the cutting edge in providing innovative and interdisciplinary teaching in the visual arts. We have established research strengths in photographic studies, contemporary art, philosophy of art and art history, which are reflected in the different ‘pathways’ we offer through this programme. You can give your degree a distinctive emphasis by following one of these pathways, or you can select your modules from the full range of courses offered in the programme.
We provide all of our students with a practice-based experience of learning about the visual arts – such as taking photographs, writing criticism or curating an exhibition – and to contribute to our Print Collection, where undergraduates collect art on behalf of the department.
A degree in History & Philosophy of Art enables you to explore the history, meaning and nature of the visual arts, while also providing you with skills to equip you for a career in the arts industries or beyond.
