Courtauld Institute of Art Semester

Fall, 2006

Location

Courtauld Institute of Art at the University of London, England.

Eligibility

For M.A. Students in Architectural History.

Program Description

The Department of Architectural History offers second-year M.A. students the opportunity to study at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London during the fall semester. Students enroll in the fall term of the Courtauld’s M.A. program in architectural history, which runs from early October until mid-December. In the past, the program has considered issues such as architectural theory, urbanism, drawings and the concept of the architect. Several site visits are also included in the program. The teaching is shared by three Courtauld faculty members: Dr. Paul Crossley, who is a medievalist, Dr. Georgia Clarke, who specializes in Italian Renaissance architecture, and the director of the program, John Newman, who covers post-medieval British architecture to 1914.

This program is particularly designed for M.A. students whose thesis topic would benefit from research time abroad. Thus, students are expected to arrive in London at about the same time as fall semester begins in Virginia for a month of independent work on their theses. The Courtauld faculty is willing to advise students on their research during this time. Topics need not be restricted to British subjects as London is an easy and inexpensive point of departure for travel throughout Europe. Equally, some American topics may benefit from research time abroad.

Participants remain eligible for financial aid and student loans.

Please note that the schedule for Courtauld is later than the other study abroad programs to accommodate the needs and curriculum of Architectural History graduate students.

Cost

Tuition in Fall 2004 was approximately 2500 British pounds plus non-resident UVA fee of approximately $135.
UVA financial aid applies.
