Ok so after all that I think I will firm Courtauld! Seems like such a wasted opportunity 😓 Such an indecisive mess these days😱

I received offers from both the Courtauld and UCL but I'm really unsure which to go for. Although the Courtauld is incredible for History of Art and I love the sound of the course, I'm worried it might be limiting in the future. I feel as though I'll probably get more of a university experience at UCL, plus the university itself is better recognised outside of the art world. I'm literally split down the middle! Is anyone else in the same position?

Just out of curiousity, why waste taxpayers money on such a useless degree?

Oh look guys, another ********! Basically dear, history of art is like any other humanities degree, which basically means we can do whatever the **** we want with it afterwards, such as do a law or teaching conversion course. Also, if we go into the heritage/culture section, we get to make sure people don't end up becoming emotionless **** robots like you! 💓 glad you asked hunny

Hey! I am a finalist at Warwick. I had offers from Warwick, UCL, the Courtauld and Bristol so was in a similar position. If you wanna know why I chose Warwick/want more info message me. :smile:

well, if you want to stay in the art world, go to the Courtauld. Every single National Gallery director etc has been there. If you want to forge a strong career in the arts sector, going to the Courtauld would be an incredible opportunity.

however, if you want to keep your options open, go to ucl.

Are you thinking of your career or academic career, or do you want to make memories and have fun? you need to think about that.

my hunch.

The 'getting a university experience' is legit what's giving me second thoughts about the Courtauld too haha. It's would be such a great + beneficial experience to study there, but at the same time - I wonder whether or not I'd be missing out on all the usual chaos and fun you'd get from another uni. With such a small amount of students, I feel like that's unlikely?? Though, from what I've gathered, there are opportunities to mix with other UoL places... and I suppose we'll have the entirety of London to run around in.
