For graduates or those already working in the heritage sectors, this degree is informed by innovative and current research in key areas affecting the industry:

Our students come from across Ireland, GB, US, Canada, and France, bringing a range of insights that add to the diversity of the experience. We have a thriving graduate network working in learning and outreach in museums, exhibition design, archives, heritage development, the cultural sector and PhD research.
