Teaching takes place at the RCA and elsewhere in London. The programme occupies a suite of four interconnecting rooms, including a seminar room, a student workspace and a workspace/meeting room for MPhil/MA students. Each MA cohort has its own dedicated 'home' room.

The programme has its own small specialist library, which students may use in addition to the College library. Students may also apply for appointments to use the library and archive resources of the Tate Gallery and Victoria and Albert Museum.

Students are encouraged to collaborate with other programmes and Schools within the RCA. The course also provides opportunities for students to meet and work with students from other curatorial courses and related research degrees in London and internationally.
