Art and the City II (V4048B)

15 credits, Level 5

Spring teaching

On this module, you’ll go on a study trip to Rome. You’ll explore the physical and social contexts for the production and consumption of works of visual art in Roman geographical case studies.

You’ll study art in a single city across a broad timeframe (Classical to Contemporary). You’ll focus on the spaces in which art is situated rather than on specific objects in museum collections. You’ll cover how to understand art in its physical context and how to record it.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 41 hours of contact time and about 109 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
