Overview

Museum and Gallery Studies course at Kingston University has an interdisciplinary approach. This means you'll be able to engage across artistic, urban planning, architectural and design practices. We aim to promote a sustainable, place-based perspective to understand the future of museums and galleries.

You’ll also study in Kingston upon Thames – just a 30-minute train journey from central London’s world-famous museums and galleries. We’ve partnered with sector-leading institutions such as the Museum of London, National Maritime Museum, the V&A, the Estorick Collection, and the Freud Museum, London to create a range of live projects for this course.

Career:

You’ll complete this course fully equipped to work in museums and galleries across the world. Possible institutions include the Tate Gallery, British Museum, National Gallery, Victoria and Albert Museum, Saudi Art Council and National Folk Museum of Korea. Previous graduates have also progressed onto PhD studies at University College London, Sheffield Hallam University and Royal Holloway, University of London.
