Supervision
The supervisor may be a full-time or part-time teacher in the Department of Art History if that teacher has appropriate expertise. Alternatively, the supervisor may be a museum professional or art historian outside the university if s/he has appropriate expertise in the student’s chosen topic. All MA dissertations are examined by the supervisor and by a second examiner who may be a teacher in the department or an outside expert.
