"Students come from a variety of different backgrounds and countries which makes sharing ideas dynamic and fun in class. Staff are both engaging and supportive and there is a balance between academic and practical curatorship. I would not hesitate to recommend the MA Curating course to anyone who would like to develop their curatorial practice to a professional level"
Philippa McDonald
