Heritage (MA)
Program Available at Lampeter Campus
The program of study offers students a unique opportunity to explore a wide range of heritage issues. It combines broadly based compulsory modules with two distinct and specialized optional pathways in Cultural Heritage and Museums and Archives.
The Cultural Heritage pathway consists of two modules, focusing upon the notion of heritage as a cultural practice. It enables students to explore important questions, for example, where does heritage come from, how is it constructed, what does it do, how does it relate to the past and present, and what are its potential uses for the future? This pathway also encourages students to investigate relationships between heritage and the construction of identity, as well as the role of landscape, architecture, and monuments in determining and embedding heritage.
The second pathway, on Museums and Archives, is also composed of two modules, which explore many of the issues surrounding the management, conservation, practice and legislation surrounding the operation of museums and archives.
In both pathways, students are encouraged to undertake a work placement at a museum or heritage site of their choice, while those on the Lampeter campus can undertake their placement in the Roderic Bowen Research Centre.
