This contemporary curating master's will give you the guidance and encouragement to create your own curatorial profile, by developing your interests and connecting them with existing debates and practices.Our contemporary curating course is one of the few curating MAs hosted within a large, research-intensive, Russell Group university. You'll have the opportunity to work alongside students and experts in related disciplines, building a network of staff and peers who will inform and inspire your curatorial practice.You'll also benefit from our partnerships with galleries, as well as a rich offering of extra-curricular activities and public programmes which expand well beyond your discipline. Our contemporary curating students graduate prepared for careers in galleries, museums and cultural organisations, or to develop an independent curatorial practice.
