Museum and Gallery Studies MA

Create and curate leading cultural experiences Reimagine links between academia and the professional world and explore what that means for museum studies and practice. Studying on our Museum and Gallery Studies MA programme will open new doors to both professional and research opportunities. Recent graduates have gone on to work in galleries and museums in the UK and across the world, with others progressing to PhD studies at a range of high-profile institutions. During the course, you’ll participate in new exhibitions, cultural programming and community development. You’ll access our annual awards in Community Engagement and Outstanding Creative Practice, and feel empowered to pursue your own individual interests at the cutting-edge of creative practice. Through a blend of practical and theoretical learning, you’ll experience collections, institutions, exhibitions and audiences. You’ll bring your knowledge together with a bespoke research project on your chosen topic. I chose the Museum and Gallery Studies MA at Kingston University as it provided both a theoretical and practical understanding of the museum as a cultural institution. The course also approached the subject in a more imaginative, creative and experimental way than other universities. Stephanie Stroh
