History of Art

Entry Requirements

Offers of places will be sent out in December. Some candidates will be placed on a waiting list, and these candidates will be contacted if they are going to be offered a place. The offer of a place is conditional on a candidate achieving a minimum of eight (I)GCSE passes at A / 7 grade, of which at least four are at A* / 8-9 in the subjects to be studied at A Level. There are no subject requirements to study History of Art at A Level. This subject is, however, recommended to those who enjoy History, English and Philosophy but who also wish to explore visual culture and language. It is equally enjoyable for linguists, classicists and artists and combines well with most other subjects. Indeed, a typically forensic approach to observation and research taken by scientists is of great value in History of Art.
