"My course at Christie's taught me how to act and behave professionally and sharpened my critical and independent thinking. I'm now preparing for a PhD in Art History. Thank you Christie's Education for a wonderful and constructive year that I will always cherish!"
~ Anna Chatziangelidou, Postgraduate Diploma in Modern and Contemporary Art, 2007-2008.
"Christie's Education provided me with the perfect opportunity to increase my knowledge for art history and cultivate a strong sense of learning and exploration in all things related to fine art. I did not have an undergraduate degree in art, but I've always had a keen interest for all things beautiful with a strong element of the aesthetic. I love attending lectures, especially those given by feature speakers who are specialists in their field; representatives from museums, galleries, critics and even artists. These were the most informative parts of the course, which were very popular and very insightful for young students like myself. The tutors and staff are helpful and friendly, particularly when I was looking for internships and jobs. They are a great source of information and support, and to this day, I am grateful for their advice and tutelage. This course was one of the best things I've done so far, it allowed me to explore and understand different things in life, culturally and socially and I've made many great friends along the way - definitely something that I would recommend anyone to do!"

"I’d been practicing law for 16 years and I decided that Christie’s would give me the opportunity to make a mid career change. I am very, very, happy to have undertaken this course. It’s provided me with a valuable set of skills and I can’t recommend it enough.”
~ Albert Zecher, Diploma in Fine and Decorative Arts, 2007-2008.
"Having worked with Indian Art before as an artist and as an art-coordinator in a gallery, I felt I wanted to familiarise myself with Western Art Practices thus the decision to study at Christie's Education. My experience with Christie’s Education has been fabulous in every aspect, the supportive environment combined with object- based learning and trips to Rome and Paris which were such an eye opener. The objects, the paintings and the environment they are set in took me on a journey and from here began my numerous conversations with the art. I will always cherish my experience at Christie’s Education."
~Amtojh Sandhu, Diploma in Fine and Decorative Arts, 2007-2008.
"I applied for one course only, the fine and decorative arts course at Christie's Education. I knew that the hands-on experience would help me with my future career and indeed those are the skills I use every day in my job as a junior specialist.”
~ Kate McKenzie, Diploma in Fine and Decorative Arts, 2005-2006; Master’s in Modern and Contemporary Art, 2006-2007.
"My time at Christie’s Education provided me with both the theoretical and practical skills to succeed in the museum world. As well as an extensive historical grounding in ancient and medieval art history, in-depth experience with the objects and artefacts themselves is fundamental to the programme at Christie’s. The skills I developed through these practices have served me very well in my work in as a curator and researcher."
~ Sarah Biggs, Master's in Early European Art, 2005-2006.
"Christie's Education gave me a unique opportunity to learn about the international art market. The trips to museums and galleries were very informative and the lecturers were renown scholars at the top of their fields. This combination of an excellent traditional teaching and a more hands-on approach gave me the necessary tools and the confidence to find a job with Christie's shortly after the end of the course."
~ Amparo Martinez-Russotto, Master's in Early European Art, 2005-2006.
"One of the things I love most about the Christie’s Education course was that it had a very tactile approach to objects. We visited Christie's all the time to get to know the objects and the specialists that were working in them."
~ Andreas Pampoulides, Master’s in Early European Art, 1999-2000.
