Museology is the field responsible for conserving precious works of art and items of historical significance for research and education. This field requires specialists with a strong humanities background and even media and technological skills to organize and manage both public and private assemblages.

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
