St Andrews museum training benefits enormously from the willing participation of the Scottish museum profession.Museums Galleries Scotland and its member museums of all shapes and sizes generously provide visiting lecturers and host class visits and individual student placements. In return, St Andrews has developed several initiatives to extend its training beyond the University and into the museum community. A part-time version of the Postgraduate Diploma and MLitt, taught through residential schools andwork-based projects, is aimed in particular at people alreadyworking in museums. Participants arewelcomed from Scotland, the rest of the UK and EU. TheMuseum and Gallery Studies teaching staff are experienced museum curators who continue to be involved directly in museumwork.
