Modern and Contemporary

Asian, Early Modern to Contemporary
Taught by a dedicated team of academics,
the programme has an established reputation for pioneering new forms of design
historical enquiry in global contexts, from the fifteenth century to the present
day. The seminar-based classes provide a unique environment for the study of the
aesthetic, social, cultural, technological, economic and political contexts for
design.
The programme specialises in object-focused scholarship ranging
across the histories of architecture and interior design, fashion and textiles,
furniture and product design, ceramics, metalwork, glass, prints, drawings and

opportunities to work with curators, and contribute to V&A gallery and
exhibition projects. Graduates go on to work internationally in universities,
museums and galleries, as well as in a host of other related professions such as
curating, journalism, media research and design policy. The MA programme
provides also an excellent preparation towards PhD
research.
