MA Art History 2009-2010, MA Graduate Assistant

I have greatly enjoyed my time at Richmond thus far. The Kensington campus is ideally located in the heart of London within reach of some of the world’s finest museums and art galleries, as well as one-of-a-kind cultural experiences and opportunities for fun and entertainment and we have gone on multiple field trips and museum visits. The Richmond MA in Art History is an extremely enriching experience that teaches students how to think critically, and prepares them for relevant work in diverse fields, in addition to art history, all in one year! It’s an experience that’s really quite hard to beat.
