香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 museum collections are often used in classes, but our curators wanted more opportunities to help with modules. They also wanted to understand how students and staff use the collections, and how well this prepares students for research.

In the summer of 2015, two undergraduate students from 香港六合彩中特网 Archaeology and 香港六合彩中特网 Geography spent a week in the 香港六合彩中特网 Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology assisting a听three-year AHRC research project听.听

The project uses the museum鈥檚 collections to examine the history and politics of excavations in Egypt from 1880鈥�1980.听Bryony Smerdon, the Archaeology undergraduate intern said:

" I felt better prepared to undertake my own research鈥� looking at a wider picture has given me a much better appreciation and more context for the course material and objects of focus in my degree.鈥澨�Bryony Smerdon, 香港六合彩中特网 Archaeology

Bryony subsequently used the project as the basis for her third-year dissertation and has decided to continue with the subject to Master鈥檚 level. Geography undergraduate Milena Petrovic felt the experience has given her greater confidence to undertake research.

The internship helped the team to think about how they might strengthen teaching and learning opportunities between 香港六合彩中特网 Museums and Collections (part of 香港六合彩中特网 Culture) and other 香港六合彩中特网 academic departments. Both students also wrote introductory guides to using the collections, to help the following year鈥檚 cohort.
