Nanyang Technological University will be offering a Master of Arts degree in Museum Studies and Curatorial Practices. The course is developed in partnership with the National Heritage Board.
The programme will start in August with about 20 students, who can opt to do it full-time, taking between one and three years, or part-time, between two and four years.
The courses include curatorship, education and outreach, global art histories, planning and designing exhibitions for art galleries and public spaces. Students also have to complete a dissertation or a 10-week internship.
Similar courses offered in Singapore include the National University of Singapore’s Minor in Art History, launched last year, the Singapore Management University’s Introduction to Museum Management course, launched in 2014, and NTU’s own double major in art history and English literature, launched in 2016.
