Museum & Gallery Studies with Art History
Museums and galleries are an integral part of an expanding and diversifying market for cultural institutions. They are concerned not only with the exhibition of art and crafts, but with questions of local and national identity, as well as socio-economic regeneration. To be involved in the representation, preservation, and renewal of the visual arts opens you to exciting and rewarding careers as curators, archivists, managers and conservators of fine art and cultural artefacts.
Today’s museum and gallery professionals have to be flexible and highly skilled. Innovative and comprehensive, our degree schemes prepare you for the dramatic changes in the exhibition, interpretation, and management of art that have taken place in recent years. They are designed for students who consider pursuing careers in museums, private galleries and auction houses, in public art organisations, art gallery administration, and as freelance curators or exhibition organisers.
Museum and Gallery Studies provides you with the expertise and skills that enable you to attain entry-level positions in a variety of cultural institutions. Embracing new technologies and addressing issues of access and diversity, our schemes also prepare you for courses leading to a professional qualification in museum studies. You may also pursue Museum and Gallery Studies as a Joint Honours scheme with Fine Art or other university subjects.
