What our students say

Victoria Stopar / Art Gallery and Museum Studies

“In the MA Art Gallery and Museum Studies course, I found a home for my background in writing and dual interests in visitor experience and digital interpretation.

In addition, programme partnerships with the Whitworth and Manchester Museum allowed me to participate in projects with real, practical applications.”
