Our staff are active researchers in a range of specialist fields and there is a thriving graduate community. Graduate students participate in our weekly graduate seminar, and research students also write, edit and produce the journal Object. We also offer opportunities to research students to work as Teaching Assistants in the department. Our ongoing and extensive contact with other Art History departments facilitates joint skills training as well as interchanges and communication in shared seminars and public events. In addition to UCL?s own Art Collections, our proximity to national museums and galleries, such as the British Museum, affords access to innumerable artefacts and artworks.
