World arts and artefacts
Learn about art and artefacts from around the world through the
British Museum’s collection with the Certificate and Diploma
programme. The programme is organised jointly by the British Museum
and Birkbeck University – a unique partnership for the study of
arts and artefacts from a wide range of cultural traditions,
geographical regions and historical periods.
Modules can also be taken individually and not as part of the
Certificate.
There are no entry requirements but all modules are taught at
university level and students should be able to read, write and
speak English fluently to benefit from their studies.
To gain the Certificate, students must take the core module
Approaches to World Arts and Artefacts (30 CATS points)
and select option modules amounting to a further 90 CATS points.
There is no time limit and assessment is by coursework.
