Taught Modules

CL-M77 Reaching the Public: Museums and Object Handling

In this module the students will gain an introduction to aspects of museology as well as an opportunity to research, interpret and handle ancient artefacts and present their findings to the public
CLE327 Egyptian Collection Practicum

Competition for paid museum work is substantial and unfortunately without prior experience students are unlikely to gain paid work in a museum. This 4-week session provides practical experience for students on site. Additionally, through working in an actual museum environment students will understand the philosophies behind museum work as well as some of types of work which are available. This module is useful for students pursuing careers in archaeology, museums, heritage studies, data analysis, and those wishing to pursue post-graduate work in Egyptology.
