"The Master of Art Curatorship offers you a sophisticated awareness of the range of challenging cultural, theoretical, social, political and economic issues confronting gallery curators. A highly valued aspect of the course is the project-based internships supervised by industry professionals in local, national and international visual arts organisations which provide invaluable workplace experience, training and networking opportunities.

You will be trained to work as an art curator, educator, collection manager, administrator, critic, dealer and valuer. The course allows those already working in the sector, art teachers, advisors, curators, librarians, administrators, writers and gallery workers, to further develop their career prospects, while also serving as a career change option for those new to the field.

The course includes studies in art and curatorship (taught at the Art Gallery of New South Wales), the art museum: past, present, future, and the business of art."

"Museum Studies is a program of post-graduate courses and research degrees that encompasses the study of museums, museology and the development of skills necessary for museum practice. The Museum Studies programs investigate the theory and history of collecting material things, their display and interpretation, and the changing nature of the museum as a concept and as an organisation."

"The Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies courses at Deakin University encourage a holistic approach, aimed at developing skills in protecting the significant elements of cultural heritage - objects, places and intangibles - and making them accessible to the public.
We focus especially on historic places, intangible heritage and museums and their collections. We regard Indigenous heritages as foundational in culture, and therefore refer to and study them throughout the curriculum. We take a transnational interest in all museum and heritage issues.
The courses are designed for Australian and international students wanting to work in the museum and built heritage sectors. As well as offering personal enrichment, graduates obtain a postgraduate qualification that will assist with professional or academic advancement."
