Is this programme for you?

Are you interested in how art institutions impact our quality of life? Do you want to know how films or pop music mediate consciousness, or how we use the arts to express emotions? Do you enjoy uncovering the narratives of theatre, fiction or film? Or examining the structures of different genres, from classical sonatas to blues songs?
