We are proud to be a part of the University of Reading and we offer a range of exciting opportunities for students at all levels.

MUSEUM STUDIES 

Our Museum Studies programme is a unique chance to combine a heritage qualification with Archaeology or Classics at undergraduate level. You will take on challenging projects with real collections in working museums with professional staff. Additionally you can benefit from placements and engage in a third year exhibition module. We also support dissertations on museum and public heritage topics. Please click here to discover more details about the programme.
