Master of Arts - Curating (with Advanced Practice)

Students will explore: • Collection development, management (including acquisitions and loans), and historical and contemporary relevance • Research, development and project management of new exhibitions, and curatorial projects and commissioning artists • Interpretation, learning and audience development including digital methodologies • Specialist sector networks and future-proofing your career as a curator.

This course begins by developing the students practice across key issues and economic, social and cultural landscapes including decolonisation, diversity and inclusion, place-making and sustainability. Students then move onto developing advanced curatorial skills as part of your current employment, providing you with a comprehensive and critical understanding of professional practice, and preparing them for future challenges within the cultural and creative industries.

Developed and delivered in partnership with key stakeholders from the sector and led by established curators from MIMA, this course is embedded in the MIMA programme, allowing them to contribute to a range of events, projects and exhibitions.
