Museum Studies Summer School

The UK's museum sector provides a wide range of rewarding jobs and employment opportunities. But it is also highly competitive. If you are interested in a career in museums and want to increase your knowledge of the skills and work involved, this course is for you.

Taught by museum professionals, including members of the Fashion and Textile Museum team, the two-week course will provide you with up-to-date information and experience in a range of museum roles, from visitor services and events assistant to museum manager.

Aimed at school leavers, recent graduates, career changers and those who have been advised to increase their knowledge and practical experience to gain employment in the sector, this Summer School introduces the role and functions of a museum, as well as how it operates.

Using the real environment, situations and collection of the Fashion and Textile Museum, you will learn how to research, plan and manage the delivery of various activities, from an evening event to a major exhibition.

You will gain a National Open College Network Progression Award qualification on successful completion of the course.

Deadline for enrolment is 11th June.
