Where can I work? - Volunteering - Qualifications It's hard to get funding for postgraduate museum-studies courses. In 2005/6, 80% of UK students on museum studies courses paid their own fees (300 out of 370 students). The 70 who had their fees paid got them from a variety of sources: · AHRC - Arts and Humanities Research Council: a highly competitive national awards system. Awards pay tuition fees and some living expenses. Visit the AHRC website: www.ahrc.ac.uk · If you live in Scotland you may be able to get support from the Students Awards Agency for Scotland, most likely for study at a Scottish university, such as the diploma in museum and gallery studies at St Andrews University. Visit: www.student-support-saas.gov.uk · University bursaries - most universities have a limited number of bursaries that might pay tuition fees or a contribution towards books. You have to apply through the university. · The MA runs a bursary scheme, called Diversify, aimed at getting more people from ethnic minorities into museum and gallery careers. To find out more about Diversify, click here · Other professional bodies will also help with a contribution to course costs. For example the Association of Art Historians (AAH) supports some museum-studies students through work placements. Visit the AAH website: www.aah.org.uk · Some employers - especially local authorities - will pay for their high flyers to study part-time for a professional museum and gallery qualification. It's always worth asking. · Overseas students can tap into other funding support such as the Overseas Student Scheme. Contact the international office of the university you wish to study at for more details. · Sometimes it's easier to get funding to study at universities in the USA, but you'll need to do a lot of work to find out and apply Click here for more on Postgraduate museum-studies courses ^ TOP
