The Heritage MA is an opportunity to explore heritage studies from multiple perspectives, including archaeology and history. This course provides a critical understanding of heritage as a concept, covering both tangible and intangible heritage aspects, including landscapes, art, buildings, and cultural spaces. With a global focus, the program gives students insights into how heritage is understood today. Heritage is explored as both a legacy and a living field shaped by present and future needs. Students study cultural heritage as it intersects with modern society’s needs, including heritage theory and practice. The course also examines heritage’s role as an economic resource and how conservation and preservationdecisions impact cultural heritage sites. This includes how political, legal, and institutional aspects in heritage shape the industry and how heritage organisations work within these structures. By examining global heritage, students gain an understanding of heritage management and how the field provides heritage sector careers that involve public history and community heritage engagement. The program also explores the use of heritage for social, economic, and cultural purposes, helping students develop skills to work on heritage projects that preserve and promote shared memories, social practices, and unique places.
