Bachelor of Arts and Master of Nursing - Art History

The University of Sydney

The Bachelor of Arts / Master of Nursing is a combined degree that allows you to develop your analytical skills, think independently and form and articulate judgements based on argument and evidence while exploring different branches and interest in Arts and Social Sciences.You will complete a major or program from the Arts and Social Sciences disciplinary pool, along with an additional minor or second major from the disciplinary pool or the shared pool. Additionally, you will complete units from the Open Learning Environment, and any elective units as needed to make up the required credit points for the course.Your first year will be made up of only Arts and Social Science units and you will commence nursing subjects from second year onwards. You must meet a satisfactory academic standard to progress to the Master of Nursing. You will commence units comprising coursework and a substantial amount of practical work, with over 800 hours of clinical placements in the nursing component of your degree. You will gain the historical knowledge and analytical skills to make sense of such works across time and space, to relate them to each other and to the specific historical and cultural contexts for which they were created. You will be trained in the skills of visual and spatial analysis that are fundamental to our discipline including the ability to critically interpret the visual appearance of a given object. As well as the canonical forms of painting, sculpture and architecture, you will encounter a wide spectrum of media and art practice, from body art to video installation, from fresco to pop, from processional ritual to performance art, from early prints to land art.Studying the history of art fosters insight and skills in understanding and interpreting visual communication, expression and innovation that are highly relevant in today's image-saturated world. As a graduate you may go on to a career in the visual arts industry, as a curator, critic, art adviser, collection manager, registrar or educator. Work in art museums, commercial galleries, auction houses, state and local government or community arts programs, as well as across art journalism and criticism.
