BA Single Honours Museum and Gallery Studies

Today, museums and galleries are an integral part of an expanding and diversifying market for cultural institutions. They are concerned not only with the exhibition of art and crafts, but with questions of local and national identity, as well as socio-economic regeneration. To be involved in the representation, preservation, and renewal of and through the visual arts opens you to exciting and rewarding careers as curators, archivists, managers and conservators of fine art and cultural artefacts.

Each year the School offers museum and gallery study visits within the UK and cultural tours abroad. Recent destinations have included Madrid, Paris, Amsterdam, New York, Vienna, Barcelona, Venice and Budapest.
