Museums and collections are in full motion now that their social functions are changing rapidly under political and economic pressure. There is increasing overlap between the traditional tasks of the museum curators, the educational department and the management. Globalisation and changing geopolitical relations have a major impact on the status of cultural heritage, including political, Legal and museological aspects.
In the Museums and Collections specialisation you will learn about the broad spectrum of ethical, political and practical dilemmas that affect museums. You will also be challenged to think creatively about sustainable, broad-based solutions.
Research/PhD
Anyone with a master’s degree can, in principle, apply for a PhD track. The procedure for admission to the PhD track is conducted by means of job applications. However, students with a particular interest in an academic career are advised to opt for a research master’s programme, since these programmes explicitly prepare students for research at PhD level.
Information about application and programmes can be found at the Leiden Humanities Gradute School website.
