The Master of Museology consists of seven modules. After these modules, all students have to fulfill a museum internship. The Master’s programme will be completed with a thesis as a result of a research project. Throughout the programme, Theoretical Museology is the leitmotiv and conveys the co-ordination and integration of all modules.
The modules are:

Internship
On completion of the first-year modules students are required to participate in a ten-week internship in a museum of their choice, either in The Netherlands or abroad.
Thesis
Students who successfully complete their first year will proceed to their thesis in the second year. This requires the submission of a research thesis on a museological subject and takes on average an estimated six months to complete.
Degree
Successful completion of all modules will result in a postgraduate Diploma in Museology (1600 hours of study). On successful completion of the programme students are awarded the title of Master of Museology (M.Museology).
