European Arts (History and Philosophy of Art)

Description

This unique course combines two distinct subjects from two distinct disciplines: the study of History - firmly rooted in the humanities - and the study of Computer Science - firmly rooted in mathematics and the sciences.

Studying History, you gain a rich understanding of the past (alongside skills of analysis, criticism and communication) while studying Computing gives you a firm and practical foundation in programming and software development, computer systems and networking.

Both subjects follow a modular structure allowing students to tailor their studies to their own interests.
