at Cardiff Metropolitan University

• The programme combines modules in art history spanning different periods, movements, and methodologies with modules covering core economic principles, quantitative methods, and specialised economic fields. 
• Students examine how economic factors influence the production, distribution, and consumption of art while also studying artistic styles, iconography, and the social contexts of artworks. 
• Practical components like gallery visits, field trips, and industry projects allow students to apply their knowledge in real-world settings. 
• The interdisciplinary nature of the degree fosters critical thinking, research skills, and an understanding of the intersection between art and commerce.
