What Will You Learn?

Museums have existed for longer than some of the artefacts they house. The Museum Studies Diploma Course provides a broad understanding of museums and museum studies. We’ll examine their changing uses, ethics, curation and exhibition methods, and career opportunities.

The earliest museum for which we have evidence opened in 530 BCE. We’ll begin the Museum Studies Diploma Course by examining what has and has not changed since. We’ll also look at museum buildings as artefacts in their own right. Learn about the form and function of these great spaces.
