Cultural Heritage and Resource Management considers the wider place of heritage management in contemporary society and offers you the chance to undertake your own projects on a range of different subjects. You investigate the theory and practice of cultural heritage and resource management from both a British and a global approach. The course offers a perspective which, although grounded in UK heritage practice, is also situated within a wider global context and offers industry placements and project work abroad. Our current industry links include the National Trust, Winchester Cathedral, Hampshire Cultural Trust, Winchester Military Museums (particularly the Gurkha Museum) and Winchester Heritage Open Days and these offer unrivalled opportunities to develop your employability profile. Students can also work on internal research projects, such as decolonising Caribbean archives and revealing the intangible heritage of indigenous plant use. Core modules include Cultural Heritage and Resource Management: An Introduction, Issues in Cultural Heritage, Intangible Heritage and Employability in Heritage Organisations. A placement module, based locally or abroad, allows you to gain practical training in the industry. Placements may involve work experience in a museum, gallery, historic property or archaeological unit/research project. Teaching comes from experts with specialisms in museums and galleries, cultural tourism, national, local and global heritage organisations, entrepreneurship, archives, libraries, and archaeological units. There is also a dissertation, based on your original research, completed with full support and guidance from a tutor.
Normally a first or second-class Honours degree or professional experience in the area of study.
