Practice

Module code: MU7009

Practice is an eight-week full-time professional placement (July-August) which is supported by a Career Development Programme. The module is designed to help you to identify your career goals, develop effective CVs, and build your interview skills.

Our extensive network of placement hosts includes a wide range of national and local museums across the UK. Each year, our hosts make available dozens of placements from which you can choose based on your interests and career aspirations.

For example, you may choose to pursue a placement that will enable you to develop sector skills in curating, learning, marketing, project management, collections or operations. During your placement you will have the opportunity to obtain practical hands-on experience in a museum or gallery environment, relate the theory you learned on the course to a specific museum environment, make professional connections and try out a potential career path.
