Graduate insight - Kiera Gould, BA (Hons) Art History

It was my Art History course at Plymouth which got me thinking critically about museums and galleries. The staff helped me so much and after that I secured funding for an MA at Leicester University. I’m now working in my dream role as a trainee curator.

Kiera went on to do an MA in Art Museum and Gallery Studies and has held trainee curatorships at the British Museum and Manchester Museum.

Graduate insight - Lawrence Hendra, BA (Hons) Art History

Studying at Plymouth opened my eyes to a range of subject areas and, on a daily basis, I find myself using knowledge learnt from Plymouth to make informed judgements and decisions.

Lawrence is Associate Director at the art dealers Philip Mould & Company in London, specialising in British and Old Master paintings.
