3 Course Introduction Art and Design History is an exciting discipline which encompasses the study of visual artefacts, museum and gallery practices and the production and circulation of meaning around art and design. The Art and Design History course provides a systematic understanding of art and design practices and theories with a strong emphasis on critical thinking. Art and Design History students at Liverpool Hope University are partly taught alongside Fine Art and Design students. Another distinctive element of this programme is the curriculum which covers key developments in art and design history from Antiquity to the present day. Furthermore, students in the second and third year will take Professional Practice for Art and Design History. These courses look at theoretical approaches to museology, as well as more practical considerations such as conservation, exhibition planning and design, curatorial practices and educational activities. Art and Design History students work closely with those from Fine Art and Design, writing exhibition catalogues and wall labels. This means that students gain practical experience of working in related fields and professionally published writing. Exclusive partnerships with National Museums Liverpool and Tate Liverpool and close collaborations with FACT and Bluecoat Gallery and Display Centre offer privileged access to important collections in Liverpool and experts working in the field. There is also the possibility to participate in overseas study tours in recent years the department has visited Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bilbao, Milan, Paris, Florence, Venice, Berlin and New York. Art and Design History is strongly supporting the idea of the Collegium which is at the heart of Liverpool Hope University: an academic community of scholars providing a nurturing environment to stimulate and foster the scholarly advancement of all its students, working with and through them to create participants of learning (rather than recipients of learning) and to engender personalised learning (rather than mass teaching). 3
