Autumn School courses at The Courtauld

With an international reputation for the study of art history, The Courtauld has an excellent pedigree, and its Short Courses department offers accessible, intensive options for delving into the subject matter. September sees the rollout of the centre’s Autumn School courses, with three to choose from: Making Sense of the Arts of Islam, Making Sense of Twentieth- Century Art, and Making Sense of Key Concepts of Western Art: Nature, Life and Lifelikeness.

‘Our Autumn School courses are designed for art enthusiasts who lack formal art- historical training and feel they would benefit from a solid foundation in the key concepts, terminologies and concerns of western and Islamic arts,’ explains Dr Anne Puetz, head of short courses at The Courtauld. These expert- led courses offer live seminars over five days, plus a range of pre- recorded lectures, while various materials are available on the Virtual Learning Environment ( VLE).

‘Our courses are distinguished by their ambitious content and by the academic excellence of their lecturers – all recruited from Courtauld staff, alumni and associates,’ says Anne.
