Study Tours

NB. All of our 2024 Study Tours have now taken place. However, you can book now for our newly announced study tour to Venice in March 2025, Built upon Waters: The Sea in Venetian art from Tintoretto to Canaletto.

2024 sees new destinations and a returning favourite of our sought-after Study Tours, which are celebrated for their scholarly excellence, conviviality and small group size.

These tours include the lecturer’s expert tuition in museums, galleries, and churches; travel by coach between sites (where relevant), and ample pre-course reading on the VLE. Most tours also include sessions in a classroom on site, or the provision of a pre-recorded lecture to help deepen the learning experience. Travel to and from the main destination and accommodation are not included, and participants are free to make their own arrangements.

The rest of our new programmes for 2025 will be online in mid December this year. If you are not already on our mailing list, do contact short.courses@courtauld.ac.uk to join, so that you do not miss out when we launch the programmes.
