The Reinwardt Academy Master of Museology programme was the first international course to be validated by the British Cultural National Training Organisation (CHNTO) in 1998. With the introduction of the bachelor - master structure in the Dutch system of higher education, the international Master's degree programme was officially accredited by NVAO (Dutch Flemish Accreditation Organisation) and listed in the Central Register for Degree Courses in Higher Education (CROHO) in the Netherlands.
Graduates will be granted the title Master of Museology (M.Museology).
"I chose the Reinwardt master’s programme because I wanted to specialize in museum studies and within Europe this is the only one really (except for the UK). I like the concept of the course, with a combination of theory, practice and written thesis, and the fact that it is international."
