Summary

This is a general programme of study, exploring the multi-disciplinary nature of the heritage environment. It is therefore suitable not just for students of Archaeology or History, but for anyone who wishes to pursue a career in the heritage sector. Recent students have included those with backgrounds in history, English, history of art, politics and environmental sciences. The cultural heritage sector offers a wide range of exciting opportunities in museums, local authorities and heritage agencies, organisations and consultancies. This course offers essential training for professional roles throughout the sector. Through a combination of academic studies, practical training, work placements and research projects, this course provides a thorough grounding in all aspects of heritage management theory and practice. You will address key issues such as: Why does the past matter and to whom? Who decides what constitutes heritage and what should be done with it? How should we present the past to the public? The course focuses on providing you with highly valued and transferrable practical skills, knowledge and experience.
