Chinese Art History

专业介绍

The Master of Arts in Chinese Art History programme at The Chinese University of Hong Kong is the first MA programme in Hong Kong focusing on Chinese art history. Grounded in both ancient and modern Chinese art, the programme adopts diverse Asian perspectives and guides students to understand and research the multifaceted and cross-era development of Chinese art through classroom seminars and study of artwork and artifacts. It seeks to cultivate an open and objective attitude in students, encouraging them to conduct in-depth research on intercultural interactions and artistic exchanges between China and different regions of the world from ancient times to the present.

The aim of the programme is to provide students who aspire to explore the historical development of Chinese art with a broad and robust academic training. At the same time, the program takes full advantage of Hong Kong’s internationally renowned resources in Chinese art, enabling students to stay current with the latest developments in Chinese art across academic and cultural industries worldwide by engaging directly with local professionals and art organizations. The knowledge and research skills in Chinese art history that graduates acquire will provide a crucial foundation for their future careers in academic research, education, museums, the creative industries, and other related fields.

The programme will be delivered by pioneering scholars in the field, including our faculty members (Prof. Maggie Wan, Prof. Peng Peng, Prof. Kayi Ho, and Prof. Yu-Chieh Li), as well as visiting professors and local and overseas experts.
