Introduction

The Postgraduate Programme in the History and Theory of Art was designed to fill a long-standing need within the field of Humanities in Cypriot academia. In contrast to the centuries-long, rich in a gamut of influences artistic tradition of Cyprus, until recently there was an absence of the necessary institutional framework and methodological tools, which would have allowed a substantial, multifaceted analysis of the island’s cultural identity, especially with regard to the arts, including its connections both to Europe and the Middle East, within the wider Mediterranean milieu. An important novelty of the Master’s Programme is the situating of historical and theoretical studies within an international perspective.

The mission of the programme is to sustain a high calibre research environment in the History and Theory of Art, from the early modernity to the contemporary era, in accordance with existing international standards. The programme’s vision is to offer, within the Humanities and, especially, regarding arts and culture, such a level of knowledge and theoretical tools that will enable its graduates to enter international academic institutions and the international job market.

Graduates of the programme, in addition to engaging in further studies for pursuing an academic career, will be equipped for curators’ careers in museums, public or private institutions and collections, as well as major cultural and research centres.
