Program description
There are no other programs like it in the country, and the Whitechapel Gallery's MA in Curating Art and Public Programs is a first.
As a result, students graduate with a solid foundation in curatorial theory, as well as practical curatorial experience that prepares them for careers in museums and galleries around the world.
Student internships at a running public gallery like the Whitechapel Gallery allow students to get a firsthand look at what it's like to run a contemporary art museum.
Education takes place on Southwark Campus
