The Bachelor's degree in Art History normally focusses on the study of the western artistic production of our culture in its form. However, in a global world, knowledge of the artistic expressions of other cultures is necessary for students to have greater knowledge and understanding of the realities that surround them. In this sense, this optional subject offers ad-hoc approaches to the cultural and artistic realities of the other continents. Students will obtain a fuller view of the skills and knowledge of other realities with a view to enhancing their future professional development.

Multidisciplinary approach to a specific theme in art history, visual culture, music and cinema.The aim of this subject area is to provide students with an exhaustive approach to a chosen subject, which may change depending on the specific area of knowledge of the teacher imparting it. A high-quality and rich immersion in an issue or related topics, avoiding the more general nature of mandatory subjects. For example, specific analyses of singular works or case studies by specific artists that require a more depth analysis of pieces previously analysed in a more general way. Students will acquire the ability to break down richer information, to understand how to search for and analyse it critically and to participate in comparative readings, providing them with a very useful analysis capacity for the development of their professional work, such as curatorship or editing. Work particularly focuses on oral and written skills and the capacity to summarise and explain.
