History of Art and Design

Design and visual communication are central to the modern world, and studying their history, structure and culture is one of the most stimulating and rewarding ways to understand our society. We offer three closely interlinked degrees, which explore the relations between culture and society from the eighteenth century to the present day and maintain a thriving research culture.

Our students at University of Brighton benefit from resources unique to Brighton, notably Screen Archive South East's significant archives of early film, and the holdings of the Design Archives, which include the personal records of well-known designers and organisations.
