Heritage Management MA
Bath Spa University

Key Course Facts
Course Description
Combine placements and projects with robust conceptual thinking through this dynamic MA course.
- Developed and taught by leading heritage practitioners.
- 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 – and the intangible associations of tradition, language and memory continue to shape our lives. However, the ways we understand and manage "heritage" are changing rapidly.
We’ll challenge you to think about what heritage means, help you to set heritage management in its social, political and economic context, and give you the chance to apply your understanding through a range of research and practice-based projects with our regional, national and international partners.
