A chance to build expertise in areas that most interest you.

Opportunities to work in partnership with major heritage organisations, specialists and researchers.
The physical remains of our past – buildings, landscapes, city streets, archives, artefacts and archaeological sites – along with the intangible associations of tradition, language and memory continue to shape our lives. But the ways we understand and manage ‘heritage’ are changing rapidly.
We’ll challenge you to think about what this means, help you to set heritage management in its social, political and economic context, and offer you the chance to apply your growing understanding through a range of research and practice-based projects with our regional, national and international partners.
You’ll explore how heritage sites are managed, presented and explained, and consider their value beyond something to see or a place to visit. The course combines a strong conceptual basis for the study of heritage with the opportunity to develop professional skills and insights.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Careers in the heritage sector include collections management; education and learning; exhibition planning and implementation; community engagement and outreach; and marketing and fundraising. We also cater for people interested in the voluntary sector, social enterprises, fundraising, and a wide range of administrative and management roles.
