Postgraduate Research Programs

Candidates are invited for the research degress of Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Philosophy in Museum Studies. These programs involve independent researchwork and the preparation of a thesis under the supervision of the Director of the program and other academic staff in the Faculty of Arts. These research programs will specifically cater for research students interested in the role of the museum in social change; museum history and museology; museums and public culture as well as museums and the politics of representation.

Museum Studies currently attracts students from discplines including History, Anthropology, Archaeology, Education and Art History and Theory. Research in Museum Studies is, however, rarely confined to any one of these disciplines.

Interested students should discuss their research interests with the Director of the Museum Studies program, Dr Jennifer Barrett.
