Who we are

Teaching and research are at the heart of what we do in Museums, Galleries and Heritage. So whether you’re looking to break into the sector, skill-up, or want to explore - we have an option that’s right for you.

We offer:

Master's degrees, where you'll join a taught programme that includes work placements, soft skills training, and industry projects
Research degrees, where you'll direct your own research, working towards a PhD or MPhil

We have an experienced team of researchers and practitioners. They will mentor you to a deeper understanding of the world and your chosen profession. They will also guide you through multi-media practice-based experience.

You'll explore how organisations work, how the sector works, and with day-to-day working practices. Our programmes give you a broad understanding and experience of your chosen sector. We don't sacrifice depth of understanding or academic rigour.
