Other requirements
General requirements
- UK undergraduate (Bachelors) degree with at least first class or upper second class honours or an equivalent qualification and a first class or 2:1 equivalent for a Masters degree.
- You should have a good knowledge of the field of Museum Studies; however, we recognise that knowledge acquired in other fields – from palaeontology to Modern Languages – can serve as a strong foundation.
- Students undertaking this PhD will usually be working professionals. We will also consider individuals working outside of these formal relationships on the basis of their proposal or an agreed relationship with a museum or heritage organisation, or individuals working in peripheral or commercial organisations associated with this sector (commercial gallery managers, trustees, environmental scientists, tourism officers and so on). We will consider non-professionals where the project has a strong practice-based element (such as a collection or heritage survey).
