Course content
Engage with a wide range of issues and develop a unique mix of practice-based and theoretical learning for your professional work or further research in the museum sector.
Our Museum Studies (MA) course gives you the opportunity to focus on museums, education and interpretation, and digital heritage. You'll also study contemporary issues of inclusion, well-being, public benefit and decolonising collections. The course combines critical academic study in museology with practical applications, and a curated museum placement in a local museum. The programme is enhanced by collaboration with our heritage partners, including York Museums Trust, York Archaeological Trust, Leeds Museums and Galleries, local authorities, heritage bodies, third sector and commercial organisations.
