For Kingston University Students

We run an annual professional development programme of paid employment for around 10-12 students each year. Our student assistants work across Dorich House Museum and Stanley Picker Gallery, developing new skills to enhance their employment opportunities.  We recruit via open call in May/June.  The opportunity is open to students from all faculties. Applicants must be continuing their studies at Kingston University in the coming academic year.

We also offer occasional student placement opportunities.  Previous placements have included:

TECHNE PhD (1 year placement)
MA Museum & Gallery Studies (1 year placements)
BA Dance (3-month placements)

We run a volunteer programme and welcome students to take part in this alongside our community volunteers.

We welcome proposals for course collaborations and make selected student projects public through tours, performances, exhibitions and content on our digital guide.  If you have a suggestion, please speak to your tutor and ask them to get in touch at least 8 weeks ahead of any proposed activity. Creating and presenting work at the museum requires careful planning.   You can see recent examples of student projects on our What’s On page.

We work mainly with courses.  Although we have only limited capacity to support individual and collaborative student projects outside of this, we welcome project proposals and do our best to accommodate activity wherever possible.  If you have a project in mind, please complete our enquiry form at least 8 weeks ahead of your proposed activity.
