Working together as a team, each student also takes on a specific role, including research, writing, design, installation, marketing, working closely with professional members of museum staff. The course makes extensive use of the University’s internationally-important museum collections and gives students an opportunity to reflect on an important aspect of museum practice. The exhibition will include an in-person exhibition in high-profile display cases in the Sir Duncan Rice Library café and an online exhibition. The course is assed by a personal reflective portfolio.
