Course summary

Develop the practical skills essential to work in a museum, whilst engaging with theories and debates on the societal role of museums. Our Museum Studies course covers a broad range of issues encountered in museum work. We'll provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to move into or enhance a career in museums. You'll gain a competitive edge by curating group exhibitions or organising and delivering complex education and learning events within one of the North East’s flagship venues the Great North Museum: Hancock We've been educating museum professionals since 1993 and our course is well established internationally. We encourage a hands-on approach, involving major input from museum professionals working regionally, nationally and internationally. These professionals range from small, independent museums to those who curate national and international collections. In addition to our expertise in museum studies, the city of Newcastle and the wider region offer a wonderful resource. We have over 80 regional museums and galleries and many heritage sites including two UNESCO World Heritage Sites – Durham Cathedral and Hadrian’s Wall. Much of the region's countryside is designated as National Park or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The course is part of Media, Culture, Heritage in the School of Arts and Cultures. You will be part of a dynamic group of experienced academic researchers, heritage practitioners, doctoral researchers and fellow students from around the world.
