The Art History Summer School is the only programme at the University of Cambridge in the history of art open to those who are not full-time students of the University. It is devised particularly for those who already have some knowledge or experience in art history, although many participants from other backgrounds have gained a great deal from it in the past.The Art History Summer School has a reputation for lively discussion and exchange of ideas, which continue far beyond the scheduled sessions, extending across the programme's residential community.
The academic programme- Plenary course J01: Art, Light and Space- One special subject course per week- Evening lectures- Practical sessions- Specialist-led excursions to Cambridge and London galleriesDuring the Art History Summer School you will be guided in close, specialised study of your chosen topics.
