Course summary

Through a range of interdisciplinary approaches, this programme will provide you with the skills to pursue further study of a wide range of aspects relating to the art and culture of the Islamic world, from the seventh century to today.

A basic grounding in Arabic will be accompanied by a core interdisciplinary module that will present the wide range of approaches that can be taken to the vast area and chronological scope of the field.

You will be taught by leading figures in the field, and have access to both the library resources and a large global network of partner institutions with large collections of Islamic art. The programme will give you a broad understanding of the material culture of the Islamic world from a wide range of times, places, and methodological perspectives.

Course content

Develop an understanding of the general concepts and some specific case studies related to the study of the arts and culture of the Islamic world, and some of the main scholarly approaches to the material.

Teaching and assessment

You’ll work with world?leading academics who’ll challenge you to think independently and excel in all that you do. Our approach to teaching will provide you with the knowledge, opportunities, and support you need to grow and succeed in a global workplace.

Careers and skills

You will be equipped with the necessary skills to work in a wide range of galleries, museums, art dealers and auction houses as a result of the experience this programme offers.

The interdisciplinary nature of the programme will give graduates a diverse set of research and comprehension skills. The skills associated with navigating unfamiliar regions and concepts, along with the research skills developed while writing the dissertation, will allow them to be employed in a wide range of research analyst roles.

The programme will include exercises to identify skills within the curriculum that are useful in non-academic contexts, and there will also be talks by industry professionals integrated into the programme.
