Programme overview
The programme is set up to enable current and future museum professionals to develop the competencies that will allow them to play an active role in anticipating and responding to new developments in the professional field and in society.
The programme gives students the depth of knowledge they need to play an innovative and leading role in formulating strategic policy at senior level as a department head, project leader, consultant, management adviser or member of a management team. The programme’s ambition is that its alumni will play a role in the processes of modernisation in the professional field in general.
The programme is therefore designed to be both a clearing house, where experiences and ideas are collected and discussed, and a course where these experiences and ideas are passed on to a new generation of professionals. The ensuing synergy creates the basis for an innovative perspective on developments in the museum profession. An international orientation is a vital condition of this perspective.
Programme content
One of the ways that professional internationalism is reflected in the programme can be seen in the attention that is devoted to different modern streams of ideas about museums and museology.
To sum up, the programme has four themes:
- The unity of practice, theory and ethics
- Museology as a theoretical framework
- An international orientation
- A focus on the future
The programme consists of 
seven modules.
