Course Overview

Our Museum Studies graduates have been employed in some of the largest and most prestigious museums and galleries worldwide, in addition to some smaller specialist and local institutions. They include:

  • National Museums Liverpool

  • The British Museum

  • The Smithsonian Institution

  • Tropenmuseum, Netherlands

  • International Council of Museums

  • Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa

  • Greek Ministry of Culture

  • Victoria and Albert Museum

  • Imperial War Museum

  • Guggenheim Museum

You will gain a deeper understanding of the historical, current and emerging debates, theories, issues, techniques and practice in order to effectively develop and advocate for socially engaged practice in museums, galleries, and similar organisations. The course offers a platform to explore and experiment with ways of maximising the impact that museums and galleries can have on the well-being of communities, on civil debates around controversial topics, and on the building of fairer and more equal societies.

The course is delivered in a variety of ways, including online lectures, seminars, tutorials, and discussion activities. The programme is designed to fit around your existing commitments and is sympathetically structured to allow you to break up the work into manageable chunks and focus on one assignment at a time.
