Course Overview

This MA will give you a solid grasp of foundational skills and key issues in collections management.

Previous work placements have been offered at the Tate, British Museum, Whitechapel Gallery, and Horniman Museum. Past students have documented collections that were previously uncatalogued, helped design and run school programs, conducted visitor research and assisted curators in producing exhibitions.

museum/gallery registrar

curator

arts administrator

community arts worker

multimedia specialist

higher education lecturer.
