**Summary**
The Art History with Data Science BA (Hons) will allow you to study the full range of artistic expression and hone your writing skills. The programme combines cultural surveys with more intense, media-specific subjects including architecture, landscape and painting. Through your Data Science minor, you’ll be able to analyse data to effectively extract useful information.
**Where Can This Degree Take You?**
The Art History with Data Science BA (Hons) is a new and innovative undergraduate degree designed to equip you with a combination of communications, critical thinking and technological expertise that is increasingly desirable across a very broad range of sectors including financial services, journalism, marketing, creative industries, civil service, politics and think tanks, to name but a few.
As a new degree, the College is yet to have information about graduates of this specific programme, however our degree and Diploma can take you anywhere, and you can find details of career paths of our recent graduates via our website.
**Teaching & Learning**
You will typically experience an average of 9.5 or more hours of high-quality contact time in each teaching week, in considerably smaller groups than are the norm for UK institutions at the undergraduate level, if you choose to study Art History as your major subject. The exact number of contact hours will depend on your choice of any optional courses.
Your contact hours will include a mixture of teaching methods best suited to the subject matter and to achieve the learning outcomes for each individual course. Teaching formats include small group tutorials, seminars, and lectures of between 10 and 60 students for your Art History courses, and interactive hands-on labs for your Data Science courses.
