MA Visual Culture at Durham University

MA Visual Culture looks across time and place to offer you the opportunity to develop your knowledge of visual culture and arts, and to understand how and why we interact with objects and images. By studying examples such as fine art, film, photography, architecture, as well as scientific imaging practices, you will be able to explore the uniqueness of objects, images and events, understand how to appreciate them and consider how other people may respond to them in the context of the working practices found in cultural institutions, including museums, galleries and heritage organisations. The course is delivered over one year full-time and two years part-time through a mixture of lectures, interactive seminars, skills development workshops and field trips.
