  4. PLACES TO FIND INSPIRATION

  5. Volunteering opportunities • One way in which UCL’s museums and collections can help to improve student employability is by offering opportunities to student volunteers to gain hands-on experience of museum work

  6. Student research projects • Museums and their collections can provide novel and original research questions for undergraduate and postgraduate research students

  7. Use unique collections TO SPARK NEW QUESTIONS AND DEVELOP STUDENTS’ INDEPENDENT RESEARCH SKILLS

  8. Object-based learning • Museums and collections help students’ to improve their employability through the object-based teaching that they support. • Through focusing on museum objects, students learn in a hands-on, active and experiential way, which helps them to develop important transferrable skills in areas such as communication and team-working.

  9. Students recognise the skills they can learn through Objects 154 respondents engaged in a variety of different object-based learning activities across a range of academic subjects

  10. Students’ experiences of object-based learning • “Object Based Learning is more helpful than just standard textbook learning because you can actually see the shape, texture and real size of the specimens.” • “Object-based learning Inspired me to do more independent learning.” • “It is more interactive. You can discuss ideas and thoughts with other people on the group. It's fun!”

  11. Students’ experiences of object-based learning • “You are involved in learning so can learn better. Can ask questions and discuss.” • “Encourages problem-solving, a first-hand learning experience.”
