Spring Courses

On campus and online

Our Spring courses go considerably beyond introductory surveys. Organised thematically, they provide a solid basis for further studies of areas of Western art from classical antiquity to the twentieth century. We teach in small groups to facilitate discussion.

Spring Courses on campus

The teaching day generally lasts from 10:00 to 16:30, with registration from 09:30 on the first day.

Courses include:

  • Classroom sessions alongside visits to museums, galleries, print rooms or other sites.
  • Morning and/or afternoon refreshments (where students are on campus).
  • Extensive course materials on the VLE, and reference access to the Library during course delivery and in the nearest vacation.

Spring Courses online

Spring courses online include:

  • Five pre-recorded one-hour lectures, which are delivered to students three weeks before the first discussion session, and a series of live Zoom seminars (of between 60-75 minutes’ duration). Where participant numbers exceed our maximum, we are able to offer an alternative, later Zoom seminar on the same day.
  • Pre-course reading materials, handouts, further reading suggestions, student-to-tutor and peer-to-peer discussion forums on the VLE.
