Our Short Courses share the Courtauld’s expertise with anyone interested in art and art history. They present up-to-date art-historical thinking, often drawing on our lecturers’ current research, and are led by experts selected for their academic excellence, enthusiasm, and ability to communicate with diverse audiences.
Taught both in person and online, and covering a global range of historical periods and art-historical themes, the Short Courses programme has much to offer to both newcomers to the subject and to participants with existing knowledge and interests. We mostly teach in small groups to facilitate discussion. The only pre-requisite to participation in our courses is a passion for the visual arts and for art history, along with a good command of the English language.
