Who joins? - Six-Week-Courses-in-Italy - Art History Abroad

Two-thirds of the students who come to us have not studied art history before. They join us because they appreciate that an enjoyment of art, architecture and sculpture is as important as an understanding of music or literature. Those who have studied the A Level will see much more than they have studied in class, thus having the opportunity to build up the visual memory necessary to go forward with History of Art. The majority of the course is made up of British students taking a year out before going to University. We also see an increasing number of graduates and students from, amongst others, America, Australia, South Africa and Holland.

The course is open to all of an enquiring mind. Students are generally aged between 17 and 24, with the majority on a gap year before or after university. No formal qualifications are required and there are no exams. However, we are always happy to write references which are well received by universities and employers.
