Spring School

Spring School

Organised thematically, our Spring Courses provide a solid foundation for further studies of Western Art ranging from classical antiquity to the present day.

Group sizes are limited 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, and all relevant entry charges.
  • 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 School Online Course: Variations on a Theme - Modernism in Art and Music

This course includes:

  • 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.
