Museum and Gallery Studies MA

This course provides an interdisciplinary study of museums and galleries. It offers a range of approaches to teaching and assessment based on the concept of creative research. You will engage in creative projects and conduct practice-based research with our museum partners.
The dissertation allows you to develop your own interests and gain valuable research skills and offers the option of conducting practice-bsaed projects including events and exhibitions.
Field visits and activities supplement your lectures and seminars. The course extends your opportunities to meet and wok alongside museum sector professionals.
Alongside your academic studies, you develop workplace skills in:
problem solving and organisation;
data collation, review and synopsis;
communication (oral, written and electronic);
