Why Leicester?

Many students first consider choosing Leicester due to the personal recommendations of former students, professional colleagues or academic tutors who are aware of the international reputation, specific strengths, and graduate employment record of the programmes at Leicester.

Other students find that the choice of both distance learning (part-time) and face-to-face, campus-based courses (full-time) means that they are able to select a mode of learning to suit their own particular needs, circumstances or funding arrangements.

Others are drawn to the School by the central location and vibrant, positive, multi-cultural reputation of the city of Leicester .

All Leicester programmes:

• offer opportunities for critical engagement with wide ranging theoretical developments
  and practice-based issues and ideas
• are informed by the Department’s leading edge international research and the work of
  RCMG (Research Centre for Museums and Galleries)
• are designed to be student-centred - accessible, inclusive and flexible to meet diverse
  student needs.
• maintain an international perspective and reflect the Department’s collaborative
  approach to working within the sector
