Studying at the Warburg Institute
The Warburg Institute is one of the world’s leading centres for studying the interaction of ideas, images and society. It is dedicated to the survival and transmission of culture across time and space, with special emphasis on the afterlife of antiquity.
We run MA programmes in Art History, Curatorship and Renaissance Culture and in Cultural, Intellectual and Visual History, and encourage MPhil and PhD applicants in the many areas of research the Institute supports. We also offer PG Certificates in Cultural, Intellectual and Visual History and Art History and Renaissance Culture. The resources of the Warburg are especially geared to students interested in interdisciplinary study.
