Starting in April 2024, the program, which includes micro-credential, diploma, minor, and elective courses, is designed to offer opportunities for everyone-from recent high-school graduates and university undergraduates keen to secure entry-level positions in museums to professionals who would like to develop additional skillsets, explore new career paths, or return to work.
Created by ilmi and PNU experts from Saudi Arabia and around the world, the program offers a blend of online and in-person learning alongside Arabic and English tuition options.
All micro-credential courses will be a mix of online and in-person and are available to all applicants over
the age of eighteen. These courses include Museum Impact Studies, Museum Education and Awareness, introduction to Museum Technologies, Fundamentals of Museum Management, and Best Practices for Integrating Digital Technology into Museums.
Courses offered to PNU students include an Introduction to Museums elective and specialist minors in Museums and Digital Technology, Exhibit Design, and Content Development. A two-year diploma in Museum Management will also be available for both PNU students and recent high-school graduates.

All further micro-credential courses will take place in May and June, with the diploma, minor, and elective programs starting in September at the beginning of the academic year 2024/5.
