Bachelor in Art History

3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

University of Basel

Program Overview

Basel offers one of the densest and most varied museum landscapes in Europe, making it an ideal place to study art history. Art Basel, Kunsthalle, Kunstmuseum, Fondation Beyeler, Museum of Antiquities and Architecture, Schaulager and many more houses allow the students an authentic contact with authoritative works, artists, tendencies and events. Immediate work before originals is also an essential part of the study. The subject covers the history of the visual arts (painting, sculpture, sculpture, object art, crafts, design, photography, video, installation, performance, new media) and the architecture of European cultures from late antiquity to the present day. In Basel, special emphasis is placed on historical, social, to recognize, explore and communicate political and aesthetic dimensions of the artistic and cultural heritage. The connection of current issues with historical research is therefore at the center.
