Course Overview

This MA will give you a solid grasp of foundational skills and key issues in collections management. During an intensive week studying current issues and practices, you will meet experts in London museums and galleries and engage in hands-on activities including documentation, cataloging, and issuing loan requests. You will also have the opportunity to apply for a 10-week supervised work placement in a museum, gallery, or archive. 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. Graduates can pursue careers in the heritage and museums sector, arts, media, and education. Possible professions include museum/gallery registrar, curator, or arts administrator.
