London is at the centre of the global art and antiques market, where dealers trade in Asian and Indian art alongside British and European. This is a USD60 billion plus industry, employinghundreds of thousands of professionals in small and medium-sized businesses as well as in a number of large enterprises, includingauction houses, galleries, investment banks, insurance companies and other specialist service suppliers to the market. Many of ourgraduates now hold responsible positions in the international commercial art world.
The programme is not a business degree buta degree in the business side of art. It is designed for students with an art historical background who want to understand businesstheories and practice, as well as the technical and structural elements of the art market. An important theme of the programme is itsanalysis of a wide range of art market sectors. Students learn how to evaluate and market art objects from antiquity to the present day.
