Course summary
Gain the skills to join the exciting world of museums, galleries, and the cultural heritage sector.
You will work with academics who have relationships with museums across the UK, and direct experience of curating exhibitions and permanent collections in the museums and galleries sector. Our long-standing partnerships with local and national museums and collections include:
- the British Museum
- Historic Royal Palaces
- the National Trust
- Brighton Museum & Art Gallery
- Charleston.
You will also learn from museum professionals. In the past this has included senior staff from the V&A, Tate, and Towner Art Gallery.
You will explore the history, theory and politics of art institutions and build a critical framework for the practice of curating. You visit museums in Sussex and in London, allowing you to learn first-hand about institutional histories, collections, permanent galleries, and temporary exhibitions.
You will have the choice of combining museum curating with either the study of art history or the history of photography.

You develop communication and project management skills. These skills provide the practical and theoretical foundation for careers in:
