  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MA Full-time: 1 year, Part-time: 2 years

Course Description

  • Combine and develop a range of interests across the heritage spectrum
  • Complete projects and placements in the UK and abroad
  • Apply cultural theory and skills to real-world resources

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. Teaching comes from experts with specialisms in museums and galleries, cultural tourism, theme parks, national, local and global heritage organisations, archives, libraries, and archaeological units.

You have opportunities to participate in the department’s own research projects, which have included archaeological sites in Winchester, Cornwall, Georgia, Armenia, Corsica, Barbados, Ethiopia and Egypt, and are encouraged to use your skills in enhancing and developing existing cultural heritage strategies in these locations. 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.

Entry Requirements

Normally a first or second-class Honours degree or professional experience in the area of study. The MA in Cultural Heritage and Resource Management (CHARM) is run from the Archaeology Department but has broad appeal to applicants from all backgrounds. Previous applicants have included historians, artists, linguists and students from other walks of life. No prior knowledge is assumed, but an interest in the human (cultural) past in all its diversity, and by extension an interest in how people approach and appreciate their past, is essential.
