Partnerships, studentships and internships
These placements have been set up to bridge the gap between academia and institutions operating in the heritage sector and provide unique opportunities to increase students’ practical understanding of museum work and what curating an exhibition entails.
As a result of our collaborative links with numerous local museums and galleries, we're proud to offer an exciting range of studentships and internships to our students.
Competitions are usually held in May or October, so check back for new and reopening opportunities when they appear.
