Take testRequirements
A minimum of an upper-second-class (2.1) Honours degree, or an international equivalent, in a relevant art-related subject at university. These include: art history, visual studies, fine art, craft, design and photography. Basic familiarity with art history is particularly important because you will be required to work confidently with art historical concepts and concerns as they pertain to the art museum and gallery context. It is not necessary for you to have a full degree in an art-related subject, but it should be a significant component of your degree. We also consider applications from professionals with considerable work experience in the art museum/gallery sector.
Ideally you should have some gallery or museum experience, for example as a volunteer. Applicants whose first language is not English require IELTS 6.5 with at least 6.0 in writing, TOEFL 90 (Internet-based) or 577 (paper-based), or equivalent.
