The Museum has strong links with the Department of History
and
Archaeology at the University of Chester. The University offers
a
Masters degree in Military History and, in conjunction with the
Museum,
runs an annual visiting speaker programme in military history.
During their second year as part of their course students
complete a five week placement at the museum during which time they
complete a temporary exhibition.
In addition, the large collection of archives has been made
available for
academic and student research again as part of the work
placements in the Museum. Such arrangements are of
considerablemutual benefit to the University and the Museum.'
