SOAS of Postgraduate Diploma in Asian PROSPECTUS 2021/22

In Association with POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA IN ASIAN ART 2

The Postgraduate Diploma in Asian art at SOAS University of London offers a programme renowned for its excellence. The course provides object-based study through lectures and contributions from a wide range of leading scholars, curators, and art market professionals.

We have a formal association with the British and the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), which means we offer exceptional access to the collections and curatorial expertise of both institutions.

The Postgraduate Diploma will appeal to all those with a serious interest in Asian art, regardless of your personal, professional or academic background. It is also a proven pathway to further postgraduate study in Asian art and careers in , the art world and academia.

In 2021/22 all our full-time modules will be fully available online, so you can study with us from anywhere in the world. Those able to travel to London will be able to join selected sessions in person, where circumstances allow. We also plan to host a series of co-curricular events, including in-person visits to the V&A and , subject to current safety measures.

The online modules have been a game changer for me! I would have never “been able to physically go to London because of my work and studies. Also, the format allowed for such a diverse group of students as well as lecturers to come together, which was really enjoyable.

Coming together in this virtual space allowed us students to sharpen our senses with regards to seeing the tiniest details that may have escaped our attention if in situ. I particularly enjoyed the virtual museum visits and curator's talks on site.

The SOAS Postgraduate Diploma in Asian art has skillfully adapted to online teaching, creating a highly enjoyable learning environment beneficial for students all over the world. ” Theresa Zischkin

The Postgraduate Diploma is a pathway to further study or a career in Museums and the art world. Many students, some with no formal background in art history or archaeology, go on to complete a master’s in the & Archaeology Department at SOAS or other institutions. A number continue to PhD level.

Alumni from the course have gone on to work in UK and international Museums, houses and galleries including: British Museum, V&A, the Asian Civilisation Museum , Sotheby’s, Christies, Bonhams, Simon Ray Gallery and many more.

My experience at the Postgraduate Diploma of Asian Art turned out to “be crucial to my further study in Art History. The lectures were taught by different tutors, scholars and curators, which gave us a variety of approaches to the subjects. The museum and gallery tours were valuable opportunities for me to handle the artwork, and communicate with the professionals.

I liked the friendly atmosphere here and the fact the lectures gave a lot of support to the students. The knowledge and skills I gained in the program helped me with my future study in a Master’s Degree.” Bella He Having spent my career based in London and with frequent “visits to China and other Asian countries I was keen to learn more about the . This carefully structured, intensive Postgraduate Diploma course, delivered by expert tutors and other world leading authorities in the field of Asian art, has given me in one unforgettable year a deeper and broader understanding than I could ever have imagined possible. The course has prepared me with knowledge and skills that will be invaluable for further study and research and has ignited within me an insatiable thirst to know more.” Ralph Barber

SOAS University of London PROSPECTUS 2021/22 THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE 9

Ensuring you have the best possible experience as a student on the Postgraduate Diploma in Asian Art is our utmost priority. While studying with us you will be fully supported by the programme director, manager, administrator and your module convenors, who will each do their best to see you get the most out of your time with us.

The flexible nature of study, allowing you to select your modules and complete the course over four academic years, is aimed to fit around those who work or have personal commitments. Each module is a self-contained course and assessed separately, which ensures that students who study one module each year or all three achieve similar results.

In each module, art history of the region is introduced in a broadly chronological framework. You develop key skills in documenting, analysing and appraising objects, alongside broad academic skills in essay writing and presentation. This ensures that candidates who do not have an art history background are able to adapt quickly to art historical academic writing. Many of our students come from varied academic and professional backgrounds and we ensure that they are well equipped to handle the material alongside students from an arts background.

Having never studied Art History formally in the past, it was vital for me Having graduated with an undergraduate degree in history, I soon found “to have a solid foundation to begin an academic study in . And “that I needed to undergo further study to progress in my career in the art the Postgraduate Diploma was an exact fit, with its precise balance of world.
