Program
Courtauld
Graduate
Diploma in the
History of Art
Intake: Up to 30 students
Duration: One year, full-time
Entry requirements: Bachelors degree.
Students will normally have achieved a good
2.1, considered to be an overall average 65%
or above.
Overview: The Graduate Diploma is a
concentrated form of the undergraduate
degree and gives graduates of other
disciplines the opportunity to transfer their
skills to the study of art history.
Structure
The Graduate Diploma is structured into
three elements:
1. The Foundations Lecture Course
Foundations consists of a series of 54 lectures
given by Courtauld staff, and offers an
introduction to a selected range of major
monuments, themes and issues in the history
of art from classical antiquity to the present.
The lectures are divided into nine blocks, of
which six normally focus on different aspects of
the Western tradition, one on the historic arts
of Islam, and one on the global contemporary;
the remaining block addresses the physical
history of works of art, and attendant issues of
conservation. The components of this menu
may be modified from one year to the next.
The Foundations lectures are supported by
weekly discussion classes, which give students
the opportunity to analyse the arguments
4 The Courtauld Institute of Art Postgraduate Prospectus 2017/18
proposed in the lectures, develop critical skills,
and raise any questions they may have.
2. Constellations I and II
In each term students will take one of our
newly-established Constellations courses,
each of which consists of two components:
a series of twice-weekly lectures on a broad
theme and/or period in the history of art, and
an accompanying weekly seminar (maximum
10 students) which will engage with a particular
aspect of the theme in a separate but
complementary way. The courses on offer may
differ in any given year, but this years courses
include the following:
From Shiraz to Beijing: Persian Arts in the
Global Fifteenth Century
Cold War Cultures: Art in a Divided World
1945-1991
Object, Subject, World: American Art
1945-1975
Arts in Italy 1580-1680: Mass Culture,
Innovation and Censorship
The City and the Country: Painting in
France, 1871-1914
Questioning the Italian Renaissance: Art in
Italy from 1470-1527
3. The Assessed Essay
This 5,000-word essay provides an
opportunity to undertake a more substantial
piece of independent research. It allows
students to engage with an extended
treatment of an object or issue on a subject
of their choice.
Optional Courses
In addition to these compulsory courses,
Diploma students are free to engage in
other lecture courses, including other
Constellations options and Frameworks,
which provides a challenging introduction
to art-historical methodologies, ranging
from biography, formalism, and iconology
to Marxism, psychoanalysis, and post-
colonial theory.

Postgraduate
Diploma in the
Conservation of
Easel Paintings
Intake: 5 students
Duration: Three years, full-time
Entry requirements: Bachelors degree
in art history, fine art or science. Students
will normally have achieved a good 2.1,
considered to be an overall average 65%
or above.
Overview: The three-year course is a
rigorous programme that combines
conservation theory and practice,
involving subject-based learning and
problem-solving practical work. The
course content is relevant to all aspects of
painting conservation and incorporates
historical and contemporary practice.
It includes interventionist conservation
practice, preventative conservation,
collections management, conservation
science and conservation research.
Structure
With about 15 students in total, each working
on two or three paintings, the Conservation
Department is an exceptionally busy place
and a lively forum for the exchange of ideas
and the exploration of treatment options,
actively encouraged through regular work in
progress meetings.
First year
The first year provides a foundation of
knowledge visual and practical skills on
which students will build over the duration
of the course. Classes and lectures cover
the following topics: the history of artists
materials and techniques; the deterioration
of paintings and preventative conservation/
environmental control; documentation
and technical examination of paintings;
methods and materials of conservation
and conservation practice. There is either
a basic science course (for arts graduates)
or a prescribed selection of art history
lectures (for science graduates). Time is
divided approximately equally between
the classroom and studio. Practical work
starts with the group making replicas before
students work individually on paintings under
continuous supervision. This will commence
from the end of the first term.
Second year
The second year focuses on developing
knowledge, skills , approaches and
frameworks for decision making. Teaching is
primarily in the studio, with projects designed
to develop an understanding of conservation
practice. Students apply problem-solving
skills grounded in theoretical understanding
and art historical research to specific
treatments. They work independently under
continuous supervision.
Students also work in a team on an
environmental survey which might focus on
a problematic room, house, gallery or other
space where paintings are displayed. At the
end of the survey, students produce a report
and practical recommendations. Topics
from the first year are studied in greater
depth, including the identification and
analysis of artists materials and techniques;
developments in the structural conservation
of paintings on canvas and on panel; and
new methods of cleaning paintings and
varnish removal. In order to place the
studies in the broadest context of historical
and contemporary practice, there are
visits to conservation studios and scientific
departments in the national museums and
the independent sector. In the second and
third years, there are study trips abroad to
centres of excellence.
The Courtauld Institute of Art Postgraduate Prospectus 2017/18 5
Third year
The third year focuses on research and
increasingly advanced problem-solving,
planning and critical judgement. Students
are expected to gain command of the
theoretical, conceptual and technical
frameworks of conservation and be
able to apply their knowledge and skills
independently within a professional
ethical framework. A research project in
the first term provides an opportunity
to specialise in a particular aspect of
conservation and prepare for a professional
career path. Topics may be technical,
philosophical, analytical or practical.
Projects are publicly presented at an
annual conference (Gerry Hedley Student
Symposium) that brings together students
from all three programmes in the UK that
study the conservation of easel paintings. The
projects often achieve such high standards
that they are published in conservation
journals or at international conferences.
During the spring and summer terms
students return to practical work and the
completion of their treatments. By the
third year students should be able to take
a lead in formulating treatment proposals
and discussing alternatives but the level of
supervision from previous years is maintained.
On graduating, students will be:
Fully aware of the practical and varied
issues surrounding easel painting
conservation
Knowledgeable about a specific artist or
period techniques
Professional practitioners in easel
conservation. After graduation you will
be equipped with the knowledge, skills
and attitude to work within a professional
framework in either the public or the
independent sector.

the largest and most renowned for art history
and conservation. At any one time The
Courtauld hosts over 100 research students
at various stages in their research projects.
We have great expectations of our PhD
students, and recognise the value they bring
to The Courtauld and its intellectual life.
Our status as the leading centre for doctoral
training in art history and conservation is
recognised by our outstanding achievements
in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework
(REF), and by the large number of AHRC
(now CHASE AHRC) funded awards for
studentships we have been allocated over

During the first year you may also take
language classes. Some of these Dutch
and Latin for example are organised by
The Courtauld in-house; others will be on
offer through other institutes in London, such
as the London School of Economics, Kings
College London, or the Goethe Institute.
There are also important courses held at the
University of London that develop historical
and archival skills, palaeography, public
speaking etc. Our CHASE partnership also
provides access to a range of innovative
training programmes: recently these have
included Material Witness and Becoming
a Public Intellectual. Another important
element of the first year programme are the
sessions held by the visual arts community
of scholars across the University of London,
known as ReSkIN. These sessions provide
an opportunity to meet other doctoral
students in their field, and to attend sessions
about writing and research on the visual arts.
Alongside these various training events, you
will attend the first-year seminar, which brings
the entering PhD cohort together to learn
about methods and approaches to research,
and to debate and share those methods,
both theoretical and practical. In the first term
this involves reading a different text each
week, chosen by a student as representative
of their material or approach; in the second
term students present their own research
topics to the group.
