"Explore the cultural and creative industries, including publishing, broadcasting, heritage management and arts curation. You’ll graduate from this MA with the expertise required for a successful career in the heritage and tourism sector, or for further study at PhD level.

This pathway (Heritage and the Arts) features a particular focus on the arts, and explores both land-based and maritime heritage. It covers everything from film and literature to the built environment and archaeological remains.

Optional modules will give you the opportunity to explore themes or specific skills in a wide variety of heritage contexts to suit your interests.

Our Cultural Heritage programmes are also available with the following pathways:

Cultural Heritage: study the main issues and debates around the subject, including legal and ethical issues, and how heritage is managed and presented
Heritage and Public History: gain a specialist insight into the ways history is presented to non-academic audiences

There is also plenty of flexibility within the pathways themselves, allowing you to build the skillset that best suits your chosen career path."
