Overview

Study with an ancient university founded in 1495, and access our world-class university collections, including the Aberdeen Bestiary, wherever you are in the world.

Together we’ll explore:

the power of images in ritual, liturgy and popular culture

the architecture of devotion

visual culture’s impact on the history of Christianity, its debates and controversies.

You’ll examine a broad spectrum of objects, images, texts, and aesthetic discourses to deepen your knowledge of Christian art and its histories, beyond the western European context.
