The Master's by Research (MRes) in Museum Cultures offers you the opportunity to study this expanding and dynamic field at close proximity to the most world-distinguished museums and galleries. If you are contemplating a career in the museum and gallery sector and if you are interested in developing an in-depth understanding of contemporary debates about museums and their cultural significance, then this is the course for you.
Our programme gives you the chance to develop a range of key skills, from critical thinking to writing an extended piece of independent research. Museums have been of enormous importance in shaping empires, nations and cities, and their collections are connected to wider histories of conflict and social change. To study museums is to study the development and fierce contestation of our collective cultural imagination and memory.
You begin with a core course that introduces interdisciplinary perspectives on the study of museums and a research skills module where you work collaboratively with your classmates. You then take one option in an area of specialist interest. Finally, you will be individually counselled in your choice of dissertation topic.
As well as regular museum and gallery visits, the Department offers an exciting study trip every spring.
