Summary
The Cultural Heritage Futures MSc programme has been designed to shape the future of the heritage sector. Through this interdisciplinary and challenge-driven programme, you will become a creative heritage professional committed to data-informed innovation with social purpose.
The programme is based on a critical understanding of heritage as the contemporary processes and outcomes of interacting with aspects of the past and attributing cultural and social meanings to them. You will explore cutting-edge theories, develop digital skills, and learn innovative social science methods, policies and practices. These tools will prepare you to create, enhance, preserve, communicate, and research heritage in ways that address pressing social and environmental issues at local to global scales.
Upon completing the programme, you will be able to address questions such as: - How can we decolonise museum collections and heritage sites through data activism?
-
How can ocean heritage contribute to sustainable local economies?
-
How do we negotiate between human and non-human rights, including animal rights, in heritage conservation practice?
-
How can transnational heritage site management help peace-building in countries affected by violent conflict?
