London Art Course

Drawing on Christie’s Education’s long experience of object-based teaching, the London Art Course combines lectures with visits to London's outstanding art collections and exhibitions. Choose from either Fine and Decorative Arts or Modern and Contemporary Art.

You will attend an illustrated lecture in the morning, reconvening in the afternoon for a site visit in London. The course can be taken as three successive terms or on a modular basis.

The London Art Course accepts a maximum of 20 people. To avoid disappointment, we strongly advise early booking on all terms you are interested in attending.

The course is an ideal taster for the more intensive Certificate and Master’s options offered by Christie’s Education.
