History of art is a wide academic field, that spans centuries and continents. The department of art history gives students an understanding of the history of Western culture and Islamic culture throughout the centuries. History of art is taught through a thorough analysis of paintings, sculptures, and architecture. Within their studies, students examine the link between historical and cultural events and works of art throughout the centuries and they acquire tools to develop their visual perception and critical thinking skills.

The department is very proud of the high quality teaching, the individual attention students receive, and the close and immediate relations between professors and students.
