Study Details: PG Cert two 10-week courses taken one afternoon a week
This programme will cover sponsorship and marketing, audience development, regeneration and partnerships, and commerce/merchandise, giving a detailed insight into the ways that museums and galleries are managed and develop entrepreneurship.
Perhaps you already work in a museum or gallery and want some CPD experience. Or maybe you work in a different area but are thinking about a change of career.
Through a combination of lectures, seminars, outside visits, interviews, projects, workshops and presentations you’ll examine the ways in which museum and gallery professionals have developed sophisticated new strategies and applied innovative entrepreneurial thinking to find ways of attracting visitors from a wide range of backgrounds to visit their institutions, engage with their events, and interact with art works in different ways.
You should normally have an undergraduate degree of at least second class standard in a relevant/related subject. You might also be considered if you have at least two years’ professional experience working in the creative industries.
