Course content

Museums and heritage organisations bring material worlds into existence. They shape ideas and interpretations through cultures of preservation and display. They lead debates on challenging political, social, and ethical concerns. Based in the world-famous Sainsbury Centre, the Postgraduate Diploma in Word Art Studies places you at the centre of these conversations. You’ll become part of a unique community. We’re the only Art History Department in the UK located within a world-renowned art museum.

You’ll develop a unique understanding of key art historical perspectives and methods. You’ll be able to connect the present to the past and the future. You’ll use the Sainsbury Centre's collection of world art to address big issues. Learning from world-leading experts, you’ll gain insights into art, historical, and museum studies. You’ll consider global and local perspectives to art, history, culture, communication, and identity.

You’re supported every step of the way and choose modules that suit your needs and interests. You’ll learn through an inter-disciplinary approach. This includes museum studies, art history, archaeology, history, and anthropology. You can immerse yourself in the historic city of Norwich and its heritage sites, including the Norwich Castle Museum.

Our ethos is about inclusion and partnership. The Sainsbury Centre, Norfolk Museums, and Ipswich Museum are formal partners. We have associations with National Trust, Norfolk Archaeology Trust, and South Asia Collection. Other links include the Britten Pears Arts and the Norwich Historic Churches Trust. These organisations run diverse programmes of cultural activity which you can contribute to. Many of our alumni now work with these partner organisations. We look forward to welcoming you to join our community.
