I believe MACAH will assist me in furthering my career and get me closer to my goal of working in museums or art-related sectors in Asia. I am interested in how museology and curating can be integrated with education, specifically how museum experiences can assist children in learning about history. My time at MACAH will not only broaden my academic knowledge but also offer me practical experience. Learning art history and curating are about sharpening my vision and bringing art to more audience.

Gan Ting
The MACAH Programme has meant a lot to me. With this scholarship, I am grateful that my efforts and achievements have been seen and recognized throughout the year. Firstly, the professional knowledge I have gained has helped me understand the depth of art and its endless fascination in a way I could never have reached before. Secondly, the curriculum is incredibly cutting-edge, and the information and knowledge I received in class were so fresh and pioneering that it provided me with a seamless connection to contemporary art and a real insight into today's world. Finally, I felt that the programme office and the university are a heartfelt and responsible education system, with teachers who really care about teaching and learning, and a commitment to continually improving students' study experiences, which shifted my previous stereotypes of education authority while also offering me with a really enjoyable year on campus.

Wong Yi Tung, Suzanne
Learning in the MACAH programme was a fruitful experience. The programme gives students a better understanding of the duties of a curator and its position in the art world. Studying under this focus was quite different from my previous studies in art history only. Viewing artworks from the perspective of a curator led me to pay attention to some issues that I previously did not notice before, namely provenance and related management policies in art institutions. The lecturers were helpful and did not hesitate to share their insights gained from actual working experience. Students can also receive hands-on experience in exhibition design and planning by choosing curatorial projects as their capstone project. This final project was a good chance for me to reflect on my studies, applying my knowledge into practice, and learn how to work as part of a curatorial team. After completing this programme, I can now appreciate unique artworks not only for their aesthetics and history but also for the values built up by people who have handled them throughout the years.

My study in the MACAH programme enabled me to break stereotypes and broaden my understanding of art. The diverse courses offer me with professional skills in both curating and art history. I completed a dissertation on Chinese women artists in Qing under the compassionate guidance and supervision of Dr Michelle Huang. My critical thinking, research, and writing skills have improved my capacity to work at the gallery. I had the opportunity to work as an intern at the CUHK Art Museum last summer, the experience provided me more hands-on experience in museum operations. Thanks to the Graduate Scholarship, I now have more opportunities to get vast knowledge in the art field. My time with the MACAH programme has truly broadened my horizon and deepened my understanding of the art world.
