WHY THIS PROGRAMME

This programme brings together a consortium of five European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to deliver a unique multidisciplinary and cohesive approach to the art and cultural heritage field.
Each of the five HEIs brings world-leading expertise in key aspects of collections history, the art market, art and heritage law and cultural heritage management and economics.
The programme uses historical, theoretical and practice-based models, with the primary aim of better equipping the art & cultural heritage professional with the skills necessary to work within a highly complex international field.
Mobility within Europe and beyond is built into the curriculum with opportunities to experience work placements in a range of art and cultural institutions, both public and private.
Guest lectures are provided by leading academics and professionals from the art market, museums and other heritage organisations.
Summer and Winter School partners include the Hunterian at the University of Glasgow, in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC and the Tata Institute of Social Sciences in Mumbai.

The integration of academic theory with practice across an interdisciplinary curriculum will provide a broad skill set and experiences that develop informed graduates, capable of operating at strategic levels in the art and cultural and heritage sector, both public and private, or of undertaking further study.

The programme is designed for students with a diverse range of backgrounds and specialisms (e.g. art and cultural history, art market studies, law, business), but who are interested in the ways in which the art and cultural heritage sector operates and can be managed within a global context.
