University of Leicester - School of Museum Studies

Over the past 50 years the University of Leicester has acquired a global reputation for its leading-edge thinking and experimental practice both in the field of museum studies and amongst cultural institutions of all types. Today, the School of Museum Studies is a place where researchers, practitioners and postgraduate students from around the world come together to think creatively and critically about museums, galleries and heritage; to explore and investigate, to experiment and create, to question and debate.

In 2016, the School of Museum Studies celebrates its 50th anniversary. Founded in 1966, the School remains the only UK university department dedicated to the study of museums and galleries. At the very cutting edge of teaching and research in its field, the School is engaged in partnerships throughout the world, offers a range of postgraduate courses and hosts a large and diverse PhD research community.
