Master of Arts (Honours) - Cultural Heritage and Resource Management

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 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 students 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 students' original research, completed with full support and guidance from a tutor.
