The Reinwardt continues to take advantage of international students. They fail to explain on their website that they are no longer accredited by any UK institution (they say they were the first, but do not mentione that they lost their accreditation when standards were raised), they fail to mention that a M. Museology is not internationally recognized, and they do not have standardized evaluation methods. Despite running at a deficit for the past several years, and despite the court ruling metnioned in the above article, the Masters course still costs over €9000. How can this school still charge so much money for a course that does not live up to the expectations of the students who are paying so much money to attend? How is this still happening after the Dutch court ruled that this tuition amount was too high for an HBO degree? Is anyone doing anything about this?

Also, the Reinwardt uses their position of power (they practically have a monopoly on museological education in Europe) and their network of contacts to coerce students into minimizing complaints about the program for fear that they will be unable to find suitable employment in the heritage sector if they verbalize negative feelings for the Reinwardt, the courses or its teachers. Once you are in the course, you have to finish it if you want to work in this field.

My advice would be to find another institution. The Reinwardt Adacemy is not a professional or fair institution to attend and it certainly isn't worth the money.
