Our School
Established as a department of the University of Wales, Aberystwyth in 1917, the School of Art offers the rare opportunity to combine the practical and academic study of art within a flexible modular structure. A range of Single and Joint Honours degree schemes are available in Fine Art and/or Art History and/or Museum and Gallery Studies and/or another subject from the humanities and European languages. Undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes in Fine Art (Painting and Drawing, Printmaking, Book Illustration and Photography) combine the study of traditional skills and techniques with contemporary theory and practice.

What we do
The School of Art Gallery and Museum administers the University’s extensive collections of fine and decorative art. The School also runs two galleries that are open to the public and we provide access to the Collection to as wide an audience as possible by exhibition, loan, reference, publication and through the dissemination of research and scholarship.

Collecting today
The School of Art Gallery and Museum and the Ceramics Gallery continues to strengthen and develop its holdings and acquires by gift, bequest, purchase or loan. The collections are not only unique in Wales but of international importance, and aim to be representative of the highest achievements of contemporary Welsh, British and International Graphic Art and Studio Ceramics. We collect, document, preserve and interpret objects of educational and cultural value that are useful in teaching and research, and enrich student experience by studying historical and contemporary works of art at first hand.

Serving you
The School of Art Gallery and Museum maintains, develops and promotes its art collections as a public resource and within the University it is actively used in training students who go on to become artists, art historians and museum curators. It aims to attract collections and archives with a view to their educational value. We offer primary research material for staff, student and public reference and a regular programme of public exhibitions selected from the collections.
