Course programme

You will take four core taught modules on this course: Critical Perspectives in Cultural Heritage; Interpretation and Participation in Museums and Heritage; World Heritage: Problems and Prospects, and a fourth module which will address particular issues in museum and heritage curation.

These modules address a wide variety of topics in cultural heritage and museology, both historic and contemporary – from the legacies of the colonial period to pressing debates of conservation and interpretation in the field today. You will also gain a solid understanding of issues in collecting and heritage within the UK as well as globally – from the role that museums play in forming national identities, to the rise of internationalism and UNESCO ‘World Heritage’.

As part of the course, you will also gain heritage management experience by undertaking a two-to-three-week work placement with an appropriate heritage organisation, which our staff will help you identify and arrange. You will then write an 8,000-word management plan on the basis of this placement, focusing on one heritage location, monument or group of objects. You will decide this in consultation with your placement organisation and your academic tutors.

Finally, you will write an independently researched dissertation of 12,000 words, allowing you to work intensively on a topic of your choice with the support and guidance of an appointed supervisor from the faculty throughout the research and writing process.

This course is also available on a part time basis.
