This course offers experience working alongside professionals in museums and galleries in the context of a scholarly, critically informed programme of study. Students explore contemporary issues and practices, including those relating to collections, exhibitions and audiences today. All students have the chance to compete for Kingston's annual awards in Community Engagement and Outstanding Creative Practice.
Research projects in museums and galleries enable students to develop and pursue their own interests and gain valuable skills in critical analysis and creative practice. This course is taught in partnership with external institutions such as the Museum of London, National Maritime Museum, the V&A, Estorick Collection and the Freud Museum, London. Kingston University's own museum and gallery, Dorich House Museum and the Stanley Picker Gallery, offer an exciting range of opportunities to students.
Kingston University allow students to do a 12-month work placement as part of their course. The responsibility for finding the work placement is with the student; the University cannot guarantee the work placement, just the opportunity to undertake it. As the work placement is an assessed part of the course, it is covered by a student's Student Route visa.
