Courtauld History of Art MA 2020 applicant thread

Hey, I just applied to the Courtauld MA in History of Art. Just thought I would make a thread for sharing any advice, updates etc.
I applied to
1. Victorian Science
2. Miniature to Monumental
3. Art in Northern Europe

I've had 2 emails, one acknowledging my application and one saying it was completed (i.e. they received my references)

:smile:

Hi! Just submitted mine yesterday too - applied to 1) Art, Identity, Trade and Politics in the Middle Ages; and 2) Miniature to Monumental.And I just wanted to ask if your referees got the email invitation at once? Because mine haven't heard from them yet and I'm a bit worried! Thanks :smile:

I know one of my referees did within a day or two — not sure about the other one. I may write him and ask him to check his junk folder.

Thanks for the reply. My referees did now, but there was a few days of delay, so I'd definitely recommend asking yours to check.

HI! I applied to 1) Beyond Utopia: New Geographies of Russian Art; 2) Collecting and Curating the Modern: European Art 1863-1930; 3)Global Conceptualism: The Last Avant-Garde or a New Beginning?I am wanting o focus on Modern and Russian Art. Courtauld is my top choice and I'm really hoping for good news! I'm a foreign applicant so extra nervous.

I have been contacted for an interview for the Miniature to monumental program. Has anyone else been contacted for an interview?
If so, how did it go?
