The University of Leicester School of Museum Studies offers a vibrant and dynamic research environment for postgraduate study. The last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in December 2008 found that the School has the highest-proportion of world-leading rated research in any subject in any UK university. In its forty year history, the School of Museum Studies – the only department in the country solely devoted to the study of museums and galleries – has played an influential role in the re-invention of museum theory and practice.
By nurturing creative and critical professionals who have transformed organisations and professional practice throughout the world; by producing original, rigorous, and internationally influential research; and by working collaboratively on a range of pioneering initiatives, the School has made a significant and sustained contribution to the international cultural sector and the field of museum studies internationally.

In order for AUN/SEED-Net students to produce doctoral dissertations with international standard, a part of their thesis research is expected to be published in an international refereed journal, with the completion of the doctoral degree study within three years. The AUN/SEED-Net Project thus employs a joint thesis research supervision scheme under the “Sandwich Program” as follows.
- well-qualified advisors of the Host Institutions, who have good research publication record in international refereed journal(s) (for example, at least one publication in an international refereed journal in the last 5 years), are assigned to students along with co-advisors of high calibre from Japanese Supporting Universities headed by Field Coordinating University.
- Second, students are assigned a research topic chosen from a collection of interrelated and progressively conducted thesis research topics, termed as research themes (or research umbrellas) of Collaborative Research Program. Students would receive thesis research supervision support at a Japanese Supporting University under the supervision of a Japanese co-advisor under Short-Term Study in Japan Program.
