Studying Art History will lead you to do impeccable work protecting and restoring ancient monuments” 

Art History is a fascinating science that studies the evolution of the arts through time and space, focusing on certain specific periods. In fact, it is classified as a social science with a marked multidisciplinary character in which an objective examination is sought to establish the most relevant characteristics and styles in each period.

In collaboration with other specialties in this discipline, art history is now understood as a set of conceptual tools that help produce knowledge that goes far beyond a descriptive analysis of a work. Therefore, the work of an art historian focuses on theoretical formulation that are transformed into hypotheses for subsequent verification.

The complexity of this work makes it necessary for specialists to have a set of theoretical knowledge in the field, as well as certain research and interpretation skills to develop critical thinking in their line of work. For all these reasons, this professional master’s degree has been designed to help those interested achieve their goals, providing them with the opportunity to participate in different projects such as the protection of monuments, the conservation of works of art or the dissemination of artistic heritage.
