The MA in Public History and Heritage is ideal if you are directly aiming for a career in that field. We offer a flexible programme designed to offer academic training and relevant employability skills. You will have the chance to engage with external heritage organisations and gain practical, hands-on experience with staff projects in heritage and public history. A range of stimulating and relevant modules are available to choose, covering topics from Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome to contemporary local history. In the second part of the course you have a choice of a 60-credit practice-based dissertation project, or a 60-credit written dissertation project. This course is designed to develop your employability by connecting you with external heritage organisations. In addition to practical specialised skills, you will develop excellent oral and writing skills. Graduates from this course are well positioned for a career in public history and heritage. But they also enter industries including education or government.
