MA Heritage Theory and Practice
MA Heritage Theory and Practice is intended for graduates and professionals focused on a career in heritage. You will explore current principles and practices in the professional world of heritage sites and museums including heritage management, exhibition curation and community engagement.
You will also engage with concepts and approaches in contemporary heritage theory and, importantly, how theory can relate to practice. During the degree, you will take part in ‘live’ projects with one of our heritage partners, develop your own digital history product and be eligible for a heritage work placement.
