Program details

Overview

This certificate in museology and heritage prepares students for roles in museums, cultural, artistic, and heritage institutions, covering research, collections management, communications, administration, and education within these organizations. The 30-credit program is offered full-time or part-time at the Gatineau campus, with admission in fall, winter, and summer terms. It suits both newcomers to the field and professionals already working in museums or cultural organizations who want to formalize or extend their expertise, and it is aimed at people interested in museums, the arts, and culture more broadly. The curriculum spans the practical and institutional dimensions of heritage work, giving graduates a working knowledge of how museum, arts, and heritage organizations operate and how to contribute across their core functions, from collections care to public-facing programming.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission runs through three pathways. Applicants may hold a Quebec DEC or equivalent; have completed at least 15 university credits with a cumulative average of 2.0/4.3 or equivalent; or demonstrate relevant knowledge and experience in museology or heritage, supported by a detailed curriculum vitae.
