Year One:
You will examine the broad definitions of heritage, together with philosophical and ethical issues. You
will also be introduced to the practices involved in heritage management. This is achieved by
observing and analysing active heritage management, through visits and guest speakers.
Year Two:
You will focus on two main modules in the second year. The Preservation and Conservation module
investigates the theory and practice of managing heritage resources in sites and collections, covering
issues including care, documentation, preventive conservation and presentation.
In Communication, Interpretation and Education you will examine ways in which the significance of
managed resources is communicated through interpretation and education services.
Year Three:
The final year concentrates on developing advanced skills in heritage management. One module
focuses on business aspects, such as fiscal and human resource management and marketing. The
second will consolidate your learning through a negotiated project, which can be completed in tandem
with the core dissertation module.
Entry requirements:
Most students will have studied history, or a related subject, at A level. However, we also welcome
applicants with different qualifications but with a strong and proven interest in heritage.
Not all applicants are asked for interview, but everyone is welcome to visit or telephone us to discuss
the course and their plans.
