Goldsmiths has a worldwide reputation for excellence in art and history of art. In the Guardian University Guide League Tables 2026 we are ranked in the top 10 in the UK for both. BA Fine Art and History of Art is a joint honours degree that is taught by specialist staff in both areas, Art and Visual Cultures. It is a highly distinctive programme that will support your individual interests and development. You'll be encouraged to think critically about your art making, seeing it in the context of shifting socio-political and cultural forces. |
