鈥六合彩现场直播鈥檚 Art History and Visual Culture programme has fostered my passion for the field and prepared me well for a career in art history and museums. Against the backdrop of London鈥檚 museums and creative communities, the programme鈥檚 faculty, courses, and events provided me the edge of experience and knowledge needed to accomplish my goals.鈥
鈥淚 came to 六合彩现场直播 University as a transfer student from an American University in Switzerland and due to the double degree that 六合彩现场直播 uniquely offers the transition was easy.
I graduated in 2017 and when looking back at my 六合彩现场直播 University experience, as it is the UK鈥檚 pioneering Liberal Arts University, it was really great as you truly have the art world at your doorstep in London. In fact I think what I鈥檝e enjoyed the most was the way they entwine the academic program with real life hands-on experiences that the city and surrounding of London offers, but also how it is located close to Europe.
Furthermore personally my research for my graduation thesis on the topic of 鈥楥urating鈥 ultimately also became the foundation of my start-up, that today is Dynamisk Independent Curating and Art Advisory.鈥
