GLAM6920: Capstone Project
2026 unit information
How can theoretical knowledge be effectively translated into professional cultural sector practice? This capstone unit enables you to develop and manage a substantial self-directed project connected to industry contexts. Working with staff, students investigate a museum, gallery, heritage site or collection to build essential professional skills in research, project management, analysis, and presentation. Students will produce a portfolio showcasing their ability to address contemporary challenges in collection management, public programming, or interpretative frameworks. This unit will help you to develop and demonstrate specialised project skills.
