About AHA
AHA creates excellent courses about art, the love of culture and the appreciation of beauty. Art History Abroad offers immersive and enriching gap year programs focused on the exploration of art, culture and history. We have programs ranging from 2 weeks to 12 weeks in Italy, Europe, and India. Our courses are designed for students aged 17-22 of every academic background with a passion for creativity, curiosity about the world, and a desire to broaden their horizons through travel and learning.
Students return home confident in their ability to speak about art and history. To learn this is one of the greatest gifts. For some, it may be the beginning of a career in the art world, but for everyone, an appreciation of civilisation adds quality to all walks of life.
Inspiration
At AHA, we believe that the creativity of others is an inspiration for our future. We believe that art experienced first-hand is vivid and meaningful. We also believe that approachable tutors and good conversation are key to learning. And finally, we believe that travel makes us greater and that we are always guests in another’s country.
What Sets Us Apart
- Dynamic Tutors: Our brilliant tutors are young and enthusiastic experts from a wide range of academic fields. They strip back the formality of traditional education and offer an interdisciplinary approach that draws on philosophy, history, theology, mythology, and more.
- Hands-on Learning: We never teach in a classroom or assign homework. Instead, we teach directly in front of the artwork, creating engaging sessions that combine both theoretical and practical experience.
- Exclusive Access: Enjoy rare opportunities to visit world renowned cultural sites – such as the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St Mark’s Basilica – with private access that avoids the crowds.
- Broaden your Horizons: Travel and immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of art and architecture.
- Travel with Purpose: Explore the world with intention, seeking experiences that foster cultural immersion, meaningful connections, and a deeper understanding of the world we share.
So, welcome to AHA! We hope you enjoy discovering how we create our wonderful courses and why, for over 35 years, we – and thousands of students – have had so much fun..
