The School of Art and Design History
The School of Art & Design History at Kingston provides cutting edge teaching, learning and research across a broad range of visual and material culture. Our interests span the modern and contemporary period in art, design, architecture, film, and museums and galleries. The school is distinctive in its dual emphasis on histories of art and design in the ‘art school’ context, an ethos which informs our engagement with the disciplines. As part of the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture, our students find themselves studying in a creatively dynamic environment, alongside the artists and designers of the future.
